Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased this set to go over a new comforter. I am not using the shams (I prefer pillow cases), just the comforter cover. The white lining fabric inside the shams did get a bit misplaced after washing, but still seemed functional. The shams don't have a zipper closure, just an opening in the back.
The material is plain cotton, a little heavier than normal sheet weight. The material did wrinkle pretty badly after I washed it, but that's to expected with 100% cotton. My main issue with the material is that it shows dust and lint, but I guess since it's black that's also to be expected. I don't use dryer sheets, maybe that would make a difference.
Be aware that unlike in the picture, the stripes go horizontally. This doesn't bother me. The pattern is pretty subtle anyway. I like the muted stripes, it goes with the various colored sheets we have.
The cover closes with a zipper that seems a little lightweight but does the job. The zipper was actually difficult to find, and the comforter is completely enclosed inside of the cover. I would have preferred ties inside the corners to tie onto my comforter (which has loops for that purpose). However the comforter does seem to stay put without them.
All in all, this is a decent product for the low price. I do not know how durable it will be since I have only had it a short time and washed it once. However the cover seems to work just fine and I don't have any real issues with it.
**Update after 2 months of use** This cover picks up **every** bit of lint and hair, I wish it was made of some other type of material. It rubbed fuzzy material off of the duvet so that the entire inside of the cover had this white cottony fuzz on it. I washed it inside out. Big mistake. The seams are not finished in any way, just one straight line of stitching and raw cut material. Long threads pulled out of the raw edges and wrapped themselves tightly around the cover during the washing and drying. I ended up cutting out all the loose threads and sewed a zig zag stitch all along the inside seams, which took care of the problem. I also added loops to the inner corners.
I actually like to sew so this wasn't a big deal, but it really irritated me. I mean, come on, how difficult would it be for the manufacturer to SERGE the seams? Really? The cover works and I don't have any more problems with it (as long as I vacuum it to pick up the lint), but you really do get what you pay for.
Update on the pillow shams. They are cheap too. The fusible interfacing shredded after two washings and dryings. I guess they really mean it when the tag says to wash cold and dry on low. I would err on the side of caution and hang dry them. I ended up cutting out the interfacing altogether, but there is still a bit left I couldn't get out.
