We are remodeling our bedroom so I have not used this comforter as of yet.  But...I based all of our remodeling decisions around the color of this comforter.  I Love it!!!  I think that the quality is wonderful for the price paid.  My mom has a very expensive bedspread and she admits that this one looks richer for A LOT less money.  I am excited to put it in our bedroom and I know that it will be the focal point!
