Item exactly as expected! I bought the full-size set for my 12 year-old daughter and she loves it. The comforter is soft and snuggly and looks great on the bed. I was skeptical about the pillowcases fitting her brand new Serta (standard size) pillows because they are quite "fluffy", but they fit perfectly - I didn't have to squeeze them in. Very happy with this purchase! Oh, and the item arrived very quickly, also as expected.
