I am pleased with this quilt set. I washed it before using, and was a little disappointed in some slight pilling on the quilt after removing it from the dryer. It is a good weight for year round use, and it matches my upholstered bed perfectly. The king sized quilt is a great size and has the perfect amount of hang down on the sides. It reverses to a solid light gray. I was surprised that the stripes are actually printed, so I may pass this along to my son because he won’t know the difference!
