I was skeptical about purchasing a "bed in a bag" set for my master bedroom, but the colors were perfect (browns and light turquoise blues) and I liked the look online, so I ordered it -- and love it! It has a finished, upscale look overall with a very slight sheen to the comforter and shams. I had to iron everything (the bag is not forgiving) and it all pressed beautifully, even the comforter (yes, I did this at home on a standard ironing board -- not professionally done.) I did not use the bed skirt as my bed has finished wood side and foot boards. Overall, I am very pleased with this set and can't believe that I only spent $* when my last bedding was >$800!
