Now that I've had it well over a year....WOW!! It looks and feels INCREDIBLY EXPENSIVE... and has held up beautifully (which is high praise, considering I bought it for my housemate, who is an unmitigated and unapologetic slob.  He eats, drinks, and spills excessively, invites his dog to jump up with wet fur and muddy paws and wipe herself dry...you don't want to know the rest.  Up until now, every bedding set he's had that looked even 1/3 decent would fall apart after 2 or three washes, even cold water permanent press.  I wash and dry this entire set, bedspread, shams, pillows & all about every six weeks, and have yet to see a single stitch unravel.  If it matters, I pretreat stains with Oxi-Clean Max gel, wash in cold water with Tide Free, Clorox 2 Free, and Downy Free (the white bottle no-scent-added versions)
