I love this comforter & shams! The colors are great and true to the photos, I felt....... The comforter is thin, as stated by others, which is perfect for our So. Cal climate in the summertime; PLUS, it is oversize, so there's NO problem in covering these deeper mattresses of today. There's PLENTY of hang-over.....plenty :-)
It IS a plain, regular, 100% cotton material. In the picture it ALMOST looks like it MIGHT have some texture to it; woven, needlework of some kind....but NO....simply straight machine quilt-stitching.  No designs.  It's beautiful. REALLY brings the room to LIFE!

Pros: Great Value! Bright, cheerful colors. Oversized.
Cons: I can't think of any. I haven't washed it yet. I will do so in COLD water with LIKE colors! :-)
