The elegance of this item was above expectations.  What drew me to this comforter was the appearance of smoothness.  It reminded me of a wedding cake icing.  However,, the down side was it only looked like that on one side of the spread.  The tufting stitches on the other side were so off that the fabric draped around the stitches and could not be smoothed out.  The fabric was twisted and puckered.  I was so disappointed as it was the perfect spread for this room.  I will purchase from Wayfair again as all else was a pleasant experience.
