To be honest I did not have high expectations on this comforter set. But I am so glad I purchased it! I have a queen bed and the full/queen size was perfect! Its a larger comforter and for the price it was so worth it! I looks just as advertised, the gray is a bit darker but the pattern is beautiful! It is a bit stiff but that will go away after a few more washes. It also held up well to the first wash and dry and the batting inside did not shift in the wash. Highly recommend!
