I can not believe the price on this set. It softens up the bedroom in which I have a very brightly colored abstract painting hung above the bed. At first, I thought the painting might be too much for the bedroom, but the duvet cover and shams softened the look of the entire room. I haves washed the cover and shams three times and have had no issues with the quality. In fact, I am planning to purchase another set in a different color for my guest room.
