This bedding set is perfect. It's very soft, the colors are beautiful, it washes and dries easily, and is lightweight but keeps you warm. The duvet cover has a zipper along the full length of the bottom for easy removal and insertion of the comforter. There are also several buttons inside the duvet cover along the top, bottom, and sides that the comforter attaches to and helps prevent it from moving around and bunching. Genius! The colors are fantastic, very vivid and bright. The base is white, and the flowers and swirls are navy, black, olive green, and teal. The reverse side is a green checkered board. The colors are exactly what I wanted to compliment my blue wall. I washed on cold water and dried on low-medium heat and there was no fading or shrinking. And did I mention that it's soft? Because "soft" doesn't begin to describe the wonder feel of the material. The shams and decorative pillows are also equally as soft and machine washable. My room is painted gray with a royal blue accent wall and black curtains. This bedding goes perfectly. I highly recommend this!
