This quilt is exactly as described and pictured. Colors are exact and it is soft, I didn't want it stiff. It is thin, but I wanted a duvet on top so that is perfect for my needs. The stitching is pretty good on the quilt. On the shams, it's not perfect, there are wrinkles on the back side where the fabric isn't smoothly sewn. (back of shams are not quilted) I haven't washed it so I don't know if it will shrink or fade, but at this point I am completely satisfied. For the price it is a bargain. If you are wanting high end designer quality this is not for you but if you are looking for basic bedding at a low price I totally recommend it.
