This is an absolutely beautiful quilt that was exactly what I was looking for. It has the graphic quality of toile, but not as fussy or cliche' as toile can be. The quality seems very nice, and I love the lighter weight so that I can use my down feather bed underneath it in winter. In summer, you just fold it down and use a light blanket. I don't like my comforter to be my blanket, and I don't like polyester fiberfill and the way it "poofs." The black is nice and black and the background is definitely cream, not white, which is what I was looking for. The length is good, I ordered a queen, and it fits nicely. If you have a higher bed and want it to touch the floor, I'd say size up. I didn't want King shams, so I stuck with queen.

Pros: Beautiful, unusual, stylish, well-made.
Cons: Wish the shams didn't tie in the back, I prefer a zipper or buttons, but not a big deal.
