Love the bedding. I read some of the reviews that said that the gray wasn't really gray. It looked more taupe to a lot of people. I guess it depends on the other colors in your room. Mine really looks gray. I have lighter Furniture in my room also. The only thing I was a little disappointed in, was in the big decorative pillow cases. One is the right one...the other one is a regular pillow case in the same pattern as the big one.
