I bought this set for a daybed that I am using as a seating area in my living room.  I have washed it twice, and it looks just like new when I take it out of the dryer.  I like the darker blue base color with the touches of white and pale turquoise.  It goes very well with my light gray walls and teal accent pieces.  I’m super happy with the look, feel and durability of this comforter.  Although I chose to use it in my living room, it would of course look and feel great in the bedroom.  The weight seems to be perfect and would no doubt keep you warm on cold or chilly nights.
