Croscill is absolute quality in every aspect. My last Croscill bedding lasted 10 years, if that isn't a selling point I don't know what is. That being said, the price at Great Offer Stock is less than half ***, ****, * *******, along with other stores, is charging. You can but comforter sets with more pillows, curtains, etc cheaper... but you get what you pay for. This comforter is extremely well made ( all Croscill products are), and it is heavy. If it is not positioned where you want it before you get in bed, I cannot pull it up higher without getting out of bed. The colors are true to the picture. The color I like is the subdued slate gray color. It seems to match colors that are close if makes sense ? You can't go wrong with any Croscill product, and the price here is unbeatable.
