I selected this set for the looks and the value.  The material on all the pieces is a little thin, but very soft.  The blue dashes on the comforter are embroidered on, which to me is higher quality than having them printed on, so I like that.  The fact that they included the accent pillows is a huge plus to me.  The white is a pure white, and the blue is vibrant and clear.  Overall a great deal!
