Although I was disappointed with the delayed delivery, the comforter is nice. It is very soft and quite warm. For that reason, it may not fit well in a warmer climate. I am in Upstate NY and it is on my bed now.  It's a little too warm on some nights but will, I am sure, be appreciated during our very cold winter. I have not washed it yet - the king is too big for my machine so I cannot comment about the washability.

Pros: soft, very warm
Cons: may be too warm for any season other than deep winter
