It's fine, after reading the reviews that there was a "sheen" to it I was concerned. That isn't what makes it seem cheap. The little pillow is too small for the larger pattern, it is cut off and not centered (at least on mine) so you have to use the other side with the smaller pattern. The picture shows European shams (25" square usually") mine came with king shams. I have a queen sized bed and bought the king size quilt, it just covers my mattress down the sides so if you have a king sized bed it may not cover your whole mattress. The quilt itself (if you buy a larger size than your bed is) is a nice purchase.
