Shipping and packaging were excellent; came way before expected and was packaged very well with no damages. The color is true to Wayfair's listing. You can see the color against shades of blues and browns, its pretty true. The fabric is too wrinkly and crisp for me but maybe with a couple washings the texture will relax, as it is 100% cotton. The pillow shams are generously sized and don't squish the fluff out of my pillows.
