Paisley design looks nice, quality just ok for price., April 24, 2007
This review is from: Luxury Paisley Microsuede Queen Comforter 4-Piece Bedding Set, Café (Kitchen)
After receiving this set I think that it's just an ok deal for $40. It's a 100% polyester set (Made in China). I'd bought another Micro suede set from BB&B with their ubiquitous coupon at exactly the same price, and this set is just about the same quality, so it's definitely not a once in a lifetime deal. The brown paisley is nice, and works equally well for men or women if you use it in a guest bedroom. I did not like the lining on the underside of the comforter too much as it seems under 300 thread count. The comforter itself is quite thin. However, it will be just ok for the summer. To get a more luxurious look for the guest bed I'm supplementing this set with some nicer 450+ thread count matching sheets.

Good bang for the buck, April 21, 2007
I purchased the brown set for my teenage son's queen bed. It's a good value since it's a bed-in-a-bag complete with the comforter, bedskirt and two standard size shams.
The set is not quite ready for prime time right out of the bag. Everything needs steaming/ironing which is easily done in a half hour or so.
Tags indicate polyester fibers, including the fill in the comforter. Manufacturer recommends dry cleaning for best results.
I have a front load washer and plan to launder the bedskirt and shams at home. I'll likely take the comforter to a commercial laundry.
I think the weak link in this set will prove to be the comforter as it's filled with a polyester batting that is only secured at a few spots. I hope the fill does not stretch, shift, ball up or otherwise require maintenance. Keep this in mind if you plan on washing the comforter as this could be problematic.
For the $40 spent on the ensemble, it's a great buy. If the comforter itself fails to survive multiple washings, we'll simply keep the bedskirt and shams to coordinate with another set.

Flimsy, June 12, 2007
$40 is no great deal; this set is not worth more. The tag recommends Dry Cleaning, but I've put the comforter through a cold water wash and it was fine. It's doubtful this set will make it through the end of the year; it is just too flimsy and I won't be buying another.
