I needed a new comforter and curtain set after repainting the master bedroom. This set matches beautifully with the new color. These comforter and curtain sets are a bit pricier than average, but you get what you pay for. The valances are so elegant as is the matching comforter set. I believe the queen comforter weighs about 17 lbs. The material of the curtains and comforter is thick and of very high quality and just absolutely beautiful! It really does add a "touch of class" to the bedroom.
