Received it today, washed it cold water delicate cycle then dryer on medium which partially dried so finished on high heat for 15 minutes. Perfect fit on platform king bed with 12" high mattress to cover the sides of mattress without hanging below the frame.. The shams were too loose until I washed them. Color gray is medium, not too light and not too dark. Some photos make it look very light gray which would have been too washed out for our room so was very happy with the shade. No loose threads. Soft enough while still has firmness to maintain shape. Other Tomy Bahama items we have bought over the years seem to be of good quality so we will see how this wears over time but it is substantial so doubt it will have issues. We usually buy cotton duvet cover sets from Crate and Barrel (on sale) which are still going strong after almost 20 years despite many washings and border collies jumping on them playing King of the Mountain, so we have high standards. But we wanted a lighter weight quilted coverlet for summer and this is quite perfect. Accessorized with cotton blanket and throw pillow in a medium green in the olive end of the green color spectrum to go with our walls. Casual yet classy look with its contemporary Chevron pattern. Couldn't be more pleased and at about a third of the cost for a new Crate and Barrel duvet set.
