The comforter set is perfect for year-round use in mild winter areas. It is just the right thickness and warmth for our climate here in the south. I love the dark navy color and the diamond stitch pattern. The color goes very well with the light grey bedsheets and our gray bed. The king size pillowcases are navy blue on one side and grey on the other. I am giving it 4stars because the bedsheets feel thinner than expected. All in all it is a great starter set.
