I have been looking for a dark grey coverlet and coordinating shams for several months now. I was skeptical at purchasing this one off the internet as I was unsure the color of the actual product would hold true to the picture displayed on the internet. So over the last several months, I have gone to all of the major stores (Macy's, Bloomingdales, Nordstroms, JC Penny's, Sears, Von Mour, Herbergers, Bed Bath & Beyond, Target, etc, etc, etc) and most of the grey's that I saw were all to light. The very few dark grey coverlets/shams were at a minimum two to three times this price and I did not like the designs. So I decided to take my chance on this and I am glad I did. It is the right color and it's simple design pattern will compliment almost anything. The only thing to keep in mind is that this thing states that it is dry clean only. Although, looking at the product's materials, I would imagine that washing in delicate cold and hang drying wouldn't hurt things any. All and all I am very happy with this purchase.
