I just put the comforter on the bed and really like it.   I bought it as our summer comforter.  I like that the shell fabric is cotton and not polyester.  In dry Colorado we are constantly being shocked by our other polyester comforter.  The material is nice and I like the gray color.  Just like photo.  It goes well with our light yellow walls, gold and purple accent pillows.   I have not washed it yet so I cannot comment on how it washes up.
