Honestly, I got this for the foot of my bed. I wanted to take a look at it before I committed to more from it. My dog is welcome on my bed. He usually jumps up at the foot of the bed. His nails will sometimes catch in my duvet and pull threads. After this arrived, I was really surprised at how beautiful it truly is. Much prettier than the photos. I really like the fabric on the backside as well. It's like a dark chocolate, dark brown. I will keep this at the foot of my bed until it gets warmer here in Charlotte, NC. This will be a fantastic summer weight spread. My pups nails are not getting caught in this material. I put the pillow shams on, they each have a zipper closure. It's difficult finding beautiful and well made southwestern bedding that is affordable. That's why I was hesitant to purchase this. I am so glad I took a chance on this. The colors are so beautiful! It arrived quickly.
