This comforter is fluffy and comfortable, but the black and white design is a little more aggressive in person. I think it's a combination of the ruffles being more distinct (and maybe cheaper-looking) in person and my room being less spacious than the styled photo. Overall a good purchase for the price.
UPDATE: Despite following the care instructions listed here the comforter did not survive being washed. Not only did the black bleed but the filling clumped up like styrofoam. Disappointing.
