This was a gift for my daughter so it took almost a month after my purchase to write a review. The fabric is super soft. I washed the comforter on delicate with cold water/ medium heat for the dryer. I’m very happy to say no fraying or discoloration. The batting stayed in place which can be an issue when comforters are poorly made. The color was also accurate “valentine red” which is what my daughter wanted. I read reviews from different sites for similar comforters and most had issues with poor quality. I didn’t pay more in the end. If there was a price difference it might have been less than $10. I also purchased red curtain from wayfair. Loved them as well. Even though they are a different brand I was very happy they matched perfectly with the comforter. They have a slight shimmer but it pulls her room together.
