My last bedding set I purchased was in 2010 from Kohl, and it was a Madison Park brand set. I babied that set for 6 years, and finally broke down when my fiance and I moved into our new house we had built, knowing we were going to need a new comforter set. I was so pleased with the last Madison Park set that I knew I wanted to stick with that brand. Plus the sets always have nice colors and decorative pillows to go along with it. It was difficult finding a set that we could both agree on; I knew I wanted something very soft and light. But I have found that a lot of comforters of that style are often times shiney, itchy, and poorly made. After doing lots and lots of looking, we both decided we could live with the red, brown, and tan theme since it would match our bedroom and not be too girly. I read a few negative reviews saying that the sewing job on the comforter was poor, and that the overall quality was bad. When my package arrived, the first thing I did was do a thorough inspection of the quality. I wasn't surprised that I didn't have any issues, and I was really happy with how the material felt. Its light enough to keep you from getting overheated at night, but not so thin to where you freeze. It also looks very classy and clean. I would recommend that anyone purchasing this set to go a size larger than what you need. We have a queen size bed and decided to go with a king so we would have plenty of blanket. It looks great because it hangs over the edges of the bed and looks nice and full. You also don't need to worry about having sheets that wont fit because this set DOES NOT come with sheets, which was fine with me! Overall I'm very happy with my new Madison Park bedding set and will definitely be sticking with this brand in the future!
