I was very happy with the quality of the materials. The sheets, shams and comforter are a beautiful cotton sateen. I was afraid for the price they might be cheap - not at all. My only (slight) disappointment was with the accent pillows. The seam stitching wasn't great, so although the material was nice, they looked a bit cheap. Not a big deal for me, as I didn't really want those anyway. I laundered all before using, and they laundered beautifully. The comforter filling held its shape nicely, and the sheets and shams only needed light pressing after washing.
