Bought this comforter looking for red (son's request) - first sight, thought it might be too dark - but the color plays nicely with either warm hues or cool - not too vibrant, but definitely pops.  A little more "grown up" for this young man.  Haven't laundered it yet - will certainly isolate it in case....

Pros: not terribly expensive - glad there weren't a lot of pieces we didn't need
Cons: The fabrics would not impress anyone who can feel the difference between muslin and high thread count cotton - but for a young one, probably perfect
