Love at first sight
This bedding was on a display in the store, I loved it immediately. The fabric is wonderful. The sheets almost have a sheen to them, due to the high quality and thread count. They feel heavenly against the skin. I do wish you could buy items seperately as I would like to make narrow side curtains from a sheet since you can't buy matching curtains. I will have to buy another full set to make them. It is also a little difficult to decorate with wall art due to the distinct color of blue. That still doesn't detract from the high quality though.

Beautiful design
Scratchy texture....I washed the sheets twice and dried in the drier with several fabric softening sheets. They're better. but still not very soft for bedsheets.....maybe over time.

Best Purchase
The sheets and duvet cover are stunning. The ginko biloba leaf is so unusual and dramatic. The sheets and pillow cases have a smaller leaf pattern than the duvet cover. The duvet cover just pops but does not overwhelm the room. The blue ginko leaf against the white background makes a clean and fresh effect that brightens up the bedroom.

Beautiful!
The duvet and shams are absolutely gorgeous. The colors are wonderful for the room. Material feels very good quality. Yes, it did require ironing after that initial wash, but so did another duvet I already had in the master bedroom, I think that's just the nature of this type of fabric.

Lovely design
Love the design but sheets could be softer. They do not seem to be sateen and are relatively coarse compared to other sheets of comparable descriptions. They do, however, look beautiful.

Lovely design
These sheets are like sleeping surrounded by artwork. Wonderfully comfortable as well. Brighten the bedroom. Great value.

Love the design
I really like the duve, shams (and sheets set). The only issue is that they come out quite wrinkled and I had to iron the duvet & shams. If I didn't love the pattern so much this would have been a deal breaker.

Great Patterned Sheets
I have always just had plain white sheets on my bed but took the opportunity to buy these sheets I had had my eye on for a while when they went on sale. I love how the pattern shows a little when you tuck the sheet over the duvet - it's great! Matches perfectly with my blue-themed roomed.
Pretty soft after washing.
