I bought this for my pre-teen son who wanted something not so kid-ish. It is kind of a silky smooth, soft feel. Colors are exactly like picture. For the price paid, it is super nice. After some research of this and other brands, this was the least expensive I found. Shams make bed look complete, decorative pillow is nice too. I have not washed yet, so cannot comment on that. Son loves the colors and design as well. Would definitely recommend this purchase!!
