If I could give this 'set' a negative star it would be more appropriate. The material is not even close to Velvet... the second I opened up the package and felt the fabric, I immediately knew I was scammed. The only thing this would be good for is a Hollywood set, now I'm left to deal with this until I can find a real set worth having. Even the pillows are uncomfortable to touch. What good is a pillow you don't even want to lay on? An absolute waste of money. Will NOT purchase from this vendor again.

I ordered this comforter set after reading several negative reviews from people who seemed to think they were going to get premium quality silk velvet for half the price of a comforter set you'd get at a discount store. Not so, ladies and gents. It's an inexpensive set and you will, at least to a degree, always get what you pay for. I knew that going in.

When it arrived, we inspected it to see if it looked too cheap and decided it was worth keeping. The pillows were a little wonky, the hang of the comforter itself seemed a little short, but not bad looking all in all. For the price, it was more than adequate. The fabric has a bit of give and is a little thin. The padding is so-so. But, it was very soft, felt nice to lay in and didn't look like I spent so little. I was pleased. It held up fine on the bed even with me brushing it to remove cat hair. For about a month.

Then, I decided it was time to wash it. This, apparently, was a bad idea. I didn't stuff it into a washing machine that was too small, nor fail to use adequate settings. I put it on delicate and cold, knowing full well that other people had some trouble washing this set. I took it out and realized that the wash had damaged it so badly I'd have to sew it before I put it into the dryer lest the batting come out. So, I did. All wet and soggy, I sewed up the two-foot hole that tore along the bottom hem. Then, I put it on the coldest, gentlest cycle in the dryer as well. When it came out, more holes. I sewed them, too. I put the comforter back on the bed and after about a week, my repaired parts are fine, but more holes in the same area are popping up. I figure it might survive one more wash before the entire thing is made out of my thread instead of the original velvet. Oh well.

I would say that this bedding set is "velvet-like", but not really velvet. Or at least a very low grade of velvet. I ordered it for my daughter's bed and she seems to be satisfied. But if I had ordered it for myself, I would have returned it. Looks and feels cheap.
