The shipping was a little slower than normal.  I can only assume this was due to the holidays.  Packaging was not the greatest!  The box was rather flimsy and the tape was coming off. There was notation on the box not to open with a sharp object.  The color is amazing something between a very light blue and grey.  It is by Nautica so quality is great!  Soft, airy and comforting are adjectives I’d use to describe this set.  The comforter is light and fluffy but warm. If you like heavy blankets, this isn’t for you. You can use either white or really light grey sheets with it, either works. Very classy and stylish. Definitely worth buying!
