First I want to say everyone should do a little research first. This is a duvet cover set. Its not a blanket or comforter. You are suppose to buy the Duvet to go INSIDE of the cover. That's why its so thin. A duvet is similar to a comforter just a little thinner since its suppose to be inserted into a duvet cover. The reason for this is its convenient and cost effective. It's easier to have one duvet and just purchase different covers or sets then it would be to buy several comforters in different colors to match your bedroom color or themes.
Anyway since that's cleared up. The set itself is very nice and you get a few extra add-ons like the pillows and shams. Most duvet covers only come with the cover and bed skirt. I think the price is awesome and will eventually purchase more. Although I do wish that the decorative pillow and shams had removable cases. This would be better than purchasing different sets with different pillows each time. If you purchase two or more sets like this you will eventually have a whole lot of decorative pillows and shams that match those sets. I will post pics of the Duvet cover with a duvet inside if requested.
Hope this helps. I would recommend this set anytime.I actually got my shipment today...I love it. The Duvet was perfectly thin...this is what I wanted since I bought a 10in. Memory foam mattress, and I wanted to tuck the Duvet in the sides of the mattress. A lot of people seemed upset that it was very thin, but what they don't realize is that a Duvet is supposed to be thin...It's not a comforter...lol...Anyways,the colors are off. In the picture it looks purple , but it is slightly reddish in color...which is still very pretty. Over all a very beautiful set all together. Also, there is a zipper on the inside of the Duvet where I guess it can be stuffed if one prefers to. I recommend this set. I like it very much. I also bought the recommended sheet sets in chocolate and cafe.I really liked the warm complementary color combinations(burgundy, brown, and tan) The faux suede topper is very soft and with the down comforter inside, it is soft and warm. I also liked all the decorative pillows that were part of the package. They are a nice addition to the new look of my bedroom.I bought a size too big and I'm so glad I did!
I hadn't saved this to my wish list, so when I did a search, I saw two sizes -the queen was more expensive and had more expensive shipping.
I have Amazon Prime so was going to give up because of the cost of shipping, but when I looked at all the other comforter sets I was interested in, this design still won out.
It was also much less expensive than the ones I didn't like as much -even when factoring shipping costs.
The reviews for the queen size version had a few complaints that the size wasn't really big enough for a queen. One commenter said she bought the king sized version and it fit perfectly.
Between the price difference and that reviewer's remarks, I bought the king sized comforter for my queen sized bed.
It fits, without much extra, so if you have a king size bed this might not be the comforter for you since there's no super size option for you!
If you have a queen and get the king, you may need to buy extra pillows. I had a bunch of queen sized pillows but they just didn't fill out the pillowcases well. I ordered Dream Supreme Plus Gel Fiber-Filled Pillows, Standard (Set of 2) and they completed the set.
The throw pillows and neck pillow are perfectly fine for display but if you're like me, you want real pillows and lots of 'em.
I'm very happy with this comforter -it looks great. If you don't have a box spring (I don't), the bed skirt will be useless.
Unlike another, I think the thickness is perfect -but I live in Southern California and so I just need something warm but not heavy or thick as I did on the east coast. This is more of a decorative comforter that doubles as a pleasant blanket.I received this cover today. When I opened the package, I was immediately disappointed. The fabric is thin. (Yes, I know the duvet goes inside.) The burgundy color is a bit loud, but not too bright red nor too purple. My best description would be that it is a "cheap" item trying to look expensive. In low light, the rather flimsy material does not show as much. The picture makes it look better than it is. If the polyester material were upgraded, this would be a nice cover. The fact that they included a sham (quite nice including a lining), 2 pillow cases (again, nice) and three pillows (fair), means that at the very competitive price that this cover sells for, there had to be something not-so-good. It would have been better, in my opinion, to skip the pillows (I gave mine away)and put their resources into a higher quality fabric.
If I could, I would rank this 2-1/2, but I gave it 3 stars because there are relatively few covers that are not too feminine for my taste. So I saved it instead of sending it back.
Also it got three stars because the cover is 92 inches long. Some covers are less than that which means that the duvet inside bunches up a little or does not easily cover the entire queen size bed.
I plan on going to Target tomorrow and buy a duvet cover that I really liked. But it cost $95.00. My attempt here to buy something on the Internet cheaper was probably a mistake, but one I can live with.
