This is my first time owning a coverlet set and I must say that I am more than pleased. I have never felt bed linen so soft and velvety to the touch. I even machined washed this set before use and it held up beautifully.  It fits my king size bed nicely. It has a nice weight to it, not light and thin. The pattern is pretty and adds a nice flair to the set. This set would be great for fall use as it does keep you warm.
