It is truly beautiful.  Just what I wanted for the Master Suite.  Since I have just received it, I have not had the chance to wash it or make the bed with it.  Taking it from the packaging, it appears to have fairly nice sheets, not Egyptian-Quality Cotton but nice.  The comforter itself is nice and thick, will make the bed look like you want to jump into it.  I'll keep you informed once I get it on the bed and when I wash it.  Thanx, it's the bomb.  Oh yeah, 4.5 stars, cuz nothing is perfect.
