I bought is "Bed in a Bag" set for my Son and his Girlfriend for Christmas. I opened the box when it came in. I keep telling my husband that I want to keep it. The picture does not do this justice! It is really beautiful! I do want to keep it. However, I will give it to them for Christmas:)

First off, this is an absolutely incredible VALUE. No question about that. Try to find a complete bed set for less....pretty hard to do. Just don't expect the feel of an expensive, high thread count set.

HERE IS WHY I BOUGHT MINE: We were about to sell our house. We'd decluttered, had every wall painted and the guest bedroom had a blue wall, making this bedding a perfect fit. Our usual bedding for that room was looking a bit tired, as most bedding does over time. It looked particularly old compared to the freshly painted walls.

I realized that nice, new bedding would certainly compliment those newly painted walls. So, for a very low price, I got a bedding set that looked fabulous, getting raves from visitors (the house sold quickly too... or was that just a coincidence?).

The set does has a nice, classic look to it and blue is, of course a most restful color. This would be ideal in a boy's bedroom, too. It even has a dust ruffle, although it is not at all "ruffly". It is not feminine, just adds a nice finishing touch.

NOW FOR THE DOWNSIDE: The comforter is not soft. My boys actually didin't mind this but some people might. I would even venture to say it is on the rough side, as are the pillowcases and the pillow shams. For everyday use, we put a nice, high thread count sheet between comforter and body. Problem solved. We don't use the pillowcases, except to "dress" the bed when it is not being used. When guests come, we provide different cases.

But don't let that keep you from purchasing this set. If you are going for a nice, crisp look, the fabric holds its edge well and you get a very straight, wrinkle-free look. It makes the bed look unused in between visits. It makes the room look "dressed". Reason enough to have on hand.

IN REAL LIFE, you are, of course, going to want to use your bedding. But if you have a spare guest room that you want to look nice and neat in between occasional visits by guests...or you want to sell your home and have a room look updated...I'd suggest an investment in this set. For a low price, you get a very nice look.

Oh, yes, for this price, you could also take the pillowcases and use them as window valences. So for the price of a complete bedset, you could mix and match pillowcases and pillows and come up with a coordinated room. After all, who is going to care about how a valence feels? It is the look that counts and the crisp,straight edges are an advantage there!

What a beautiful bedsheet set.I purchased one for my self and one as a gift...Excellent quality and very comfortable to the touch....A very good deal and i highly recommend this set.thank you.stewart.l 12/09/05.

At $20 and free shipping this is probably the best deal around for people on a buget. Realistly the retail value is not $80 it is around $40. The fabric is not all that soft however with a few washings it should be great. If the thead count bothers you like some other reviewers spend more money don't complain about it when it's plainly listed. An easy way to solve that problem if you are on a tight budget now is to buy it and then later buy a duvet to make the comforter softer. The only reason I deducted a star is because the bed ruffle is very flimsy. It feels like it would tear very easily. This is not a problem for me as I find them annoying but may bother some people. All in all I think it is a great deal.

This is a very attractive bed set. My mom got it for me for Christmas. My only complaint is that the seams ripped out of the shams in the first month. It is easily repaired, but I was disappointed. However, everything else has been great,and I love the colors. Thanks, Mom!

I am from the MERCOSUR area, from URUGUAY. My wife received this as a gift from a friend in the US. He bought it into the US because it's not selling to us. Really teh quality es very good, good packaging, and a perfect colour and design. My friend buy the item a the initial price of US 19.90 !!!...ooohhh it's a gift really !!. My wife had been receiving congratulations for the great gift and the quality..and when she told to her friends the price...ooopsss all want to buy it !!.
Thanks Amazon....and our friend Oscar. We really recommend you to buy NOW !!..before than the price should be more expensive.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this bed set.
I highly recommend it.

I bought this Comforter set a year ago, I was very happy with the set and pleased with all that it brings! I actually bought this at Walmart for 40 dollars and to see it here at Amazon.com for half the price is a GREAT deal. I bought this for myself and used it daily, but I would recommend buying it kind of like a substitute instead of the the main comforter for your room, But its also good for the kids room and for the college dorm, they won't be dissapointed. The only complaint I have is that after having it for an entire year, the fabric has been worn slightly and the two shams are kind of flimsy and not as "fluffy" as before, but I can expect that after using it everyday practically. I say All in all I would definitly recommend it. 4 Stars for me.

To get an entire set for that price is great. The comforter is well made and very warm, and the sheets, while a little rough, aren't as bad as other reviewers have made them out to be. Overall I say a good deal at an excellent price.

...when you get what you pay for. The thread count is minimal and the sheets are VERY rough to the touch. While the dust ruffle, itself, is made of the same sheet fabric, the portion that goes between the mattress is little more than sizing and ripped in my hand as I put it on (and I have poor upper arm strength.) The sheet pattern is not woven in but painted on so, while it looks good out of the bag, don't expect that to last beyond many washings.

If you're on a tight budget and you're looking for temporary bed linens for a few months then here you go. Otherwise, don't insult your guests, or your pocketbook, with it.
