Just received, washed, dried and installed this in the nursery for my son who will be arriving (hopefully) in a few weeks. The whole set was laundered on the delicate cycle in cold water with a sprinkle or two of baking soda and a dribble of All, then tumbled dry on low.

PROS:
* Each little ocean friend is embroidered in a different fabric with a different texture, making this (I imagine) very attractive to little hands. I like it anyway.
* The bumper is very well-padded and the perfect size for the inside of a standard square crib -- no fuss, no muss. The batting stood up to a wash and dry without bunching. Very impressive.
* The sheet (and everything else) is 100% cotton and laundered to a very soft finish. The sheet fit my Sealy Baby Posturepedic Crib Mattresscrib mattress perfectly. No shrinkage.
* The workmanship, color-fastness and image quality are consistent across the board; each piece matches perfectly with the others -- nothing looks "off".

CONS:
* The bumper ties are 8" long -- a smidge too short for parts of my crib. I have an Simplicity Ellis 4-In-1 Convertible Sleep System Finish: Cherry crib that has fairly thick posts, so on the corners I had to get creative. This is really only an issue at the uppermost setting of the mattress height. I think as I have to lower the mattress for Junior's growth, the ties should be able to fit around the slats in the crib. As long as you don't have thick posts on your crib, you should be fine.
* The fitted sheet is very thin. You can see your hand through it, as well as a vague outline of the print on the mattress. I have the Basic Comfort Ultimate Crib Sheet, so this is just really an aesthetic issue for me, but it appears that this one little fitted sheet will not be enough for anyone who doesn't, and will probably not launder many times without considerable wear.
* The set only comes with one window valance. A minor quibble, but an irritation all the same. I must now buy a second; the nursery has two windows side-by-side which need to be paneled.
* You will need to iron the pieces you launder. 100% cotton wrinkles a bit.

Not really a "con" -- more of a heads-up: This set has way more green in it than the product image reveals. Since the image is the set in a blue room surrounded by blue accessories and the items are strategically placed, you get the visual impression that the set is mostly white with touches of blue and sage green. Not so. It's mostly sage green with touches of blue and white. For our needs, it was perfect. We wanted something gender neutral so we wouldn't have to buy bedding for our second child if it ends up being a girl. It's still gorgeous and fun, even though it's more green than I'd anticipated.

I would certainly purchase this set again. Very cute and well made.

Don't let the blue walls in the pictures fool you...we have this in our daughter's nursery, with two tone pastel lime green colored walls...it looks GREAT! And it's as girly (or not) as you want it to be. Had to order a second valance for the other window, floor rug is ADORABLE, as are the starfish pillows you can order as a separate accessory. Love the set, good quality, highly recommended.

I have been very happy with this product! Everything was true to color and blanket is nice and thick, sheet was a little thin, but overall very happy with product!

I love this Ocean Critter's theme. It's the most attractive and most complete I was able to find...but you'll only likely find it and the matching accessories online. Imagine my delight when I noticed my favorite (SHOWTIME) serial killer, Dexter, had the same set for his newborn baby boy.

I cannot even begin to express how much my husband and I LOVE this crib set! It's for our son, but we picked it out long before we knew the sex of our child - this could be for a girl or a boy! It's marvelous.

My husband and I ordered the bedding ahead of our baby shower so we could get the baby's room painted. I'm so glad we did. We were able decide on a paint color and the painting is finished.
The quality of the bedding seems great. I still need to wash the bedding before the crib is complete but I'm extremely happy wiht the quality, various textures and colors. We are not finding out the gender of our baby and wanted fairly neutral bedding. This is a perfect crib set for any gender!
