It is super fluffy and soft.  Very warm, perfect for the winter.  The casing is smooth and has a nice feel.  There were a few loose threads when I got it, but after washing it, they are gone, and with no apparent damage.  The color is slightly more purple than the picture, which was bad for me, but may not matter for others.  As with any comforter I recommend getting a size up for maximum coziness.
