I like this bedspread set, but I do have to say, the listing pics are extra flattering. They don't really show, or at least show well, the detail of the embossing that creates the quilted look. That said, you can't really see the level of detail from 6 feet away, and to me, it's not a big deal. Detail shown in my pics. My pics, on the other hand, are under-flattering - this fabric reflects light when photographed, so it looks lighter in color in photos than it does in person, and the texture didn't photograph perfectly either. This set is made from a brushed polyester that looks very much like a cotton sateen, but not a super high thread count sateen. It is lightweight and generally attractive, and the binding at the edges is stitched well. I expect it to be durable. In fact, I ordered this because my mother has some that are similar, and they have held up well under normal use. Size-wise... I have been using this on my large sofa rather than on a bed. I tend to believe other reviewers, that if you want the bedspread to drape over the sides as low it does in the listing pics, you will want to size up. I'll leave that up to you. As for value, I have the dark gray set, that is currently priced just under $34. This set has straight edges, and appears to me to be much simpler than the leaf pattern with the scalloped edges. It's an OK value - it's not a doorbuster deal, but I wouldn't call it terribly overpriced, either. I'd like it better under $30, and a lot better under $25,…
