I wanted a whole new look  feel for my bedroom.  I suffer from insomnia so I wanted a bed that I walked by  it tempted me to want to nap.  I wanted it to be luxurious, sumptuous  elegant.  This set absolutely met and exceeded my expectations.  It looks so beautiful.  I decorated the room around it.  I sleep better.  It is easy to make and the poofy design prevents me from having to smooth it out like conventional comforters.  The color was true to the picture.  I did not want purple, I wanted a soft subtle plum  that is exactly what I got.  The sheets are so soft.  I have sensitive skin  these sheets are awesome.  The pillows are as attractive as the pictures show. It came with everything you could ever think of, even curtains.  I am so happy with this purchase!!
