I was so excited to get this beautiful Comforter set for my bedroom. I have been looking for something to replace my set and this BRIGHTENED up my room perfectly! I LOVE the color and the ombre fade to a beautiful blue is just stunning with my dark wood bedroom set. The packaging suggests washing the set first, which I did. After removing it from the dryer the seam came slightly apart on one of the pillowcases. I think just a stitch or two will easily fix that. Otherwise, I am so excited to be able to change the whole look of my bedroom with a set that makes me think of the ocean and it's waves.
