The fabric texture and color are exactly as pictured. The service was quick and packed well. The only reason I am giving 3 stars is because of the way it washed. The lining balled up really badly and I cannot seem to "fluff" it out no matter what I try. I will have to take the comforter to a laundry mat next time, because although I have a high capacity dryer, it would not fluff.
I did buy a king because of all the reviews about the queen being too small. I am glad did. I have a really deep mattress and it fits more like a bedspread this way.
