Not only is this absolutely beautiful in person, it's so comfortable and thick. It was so easy to fall asleep under this because it just kept me so warm the whole night. Besides feeling so wonderful, it's very true to size when it comes to a Queen size mattress.  It has the perfect amount of hang on the sides, and you can easily fold back the top.  Also, the shams are a very interesting design. They do completely cover a standard sized pillow, and the ribbons on the opening is actually a very interesting touch.  Personally, I just wish the ribbons were just a little longer!  But this is such a beautiful comforter set both in practicality and appearance. It will not disappoint!
