The comforter was beautiful.  It matched perfectly with our new master bedroom furniture.  However, I washed it once exactly how it said on the tag.  I have an oversized front loader washing machine.  After reading the reviews of other people who said that they washed it with no problem (some said they had issues, but most said ok), I washed it at home.  It RUINED IT!!!  Big tears in it and the inside cotton was coming out!  So disappointed!
