I Like The Colors On This Set As They Match My Room Design Perfectly. It Arrived So Wrinkled That I Had To Steam It (No Ironing Indicated) But Even So, It Is Still Not Smooth. The "Ivory" Color On The Edges Is Really A Darker Ecru, But Still Nice. My Husband Noticed A Smell, So We Aired The Room. The Surface Is More Of A Raw-Silk Finish, Not Smooth, But The Underside Is Very Soft, Almost A Microfiber. Very Warm If You Use It For A Comforter At Night. I'M Not Using The Skirt, As We Have A Platform Bed. Pros: Nice Design, Colorscons: Wrinkled, Hard To Get Smooth.
