This is more like a huge blanket style comforter than your usual multiple layers stitched together, but I love it. I think this is the warmest bedding we own other than our down comforter. It is warm and cozy on a cold winters night. The look is perfect for Christmas, but not so much like decoration that I would want to put it away December 26. The pillow shams and throw pillow are the same material as the bedspread and are just as snuggly. If you wanted something warm and comforting, but dont mind that it isnt constructed like a typical comforter, this set is perfect. 
I do have an ink flaw in mine (see pic 2) but I like it too much to send it back and put out my summer comforter again.
