I saw this online and knew that it was exactly what I was looking for.. I loved the picture that showcased the comforter set so much that I used it as jump-off point/inspiration for designing my room which you will notice in my pics.. It arrived and the quality was so nice, every piece of it felt expensive and not cheap like some other online comforter sets that I've purchased before. I was making up the bed when I realized that the patterns on the 2 standard shams did not even closely line up.. I'm a stickler when it comes to something like sleeping pillows flowing together especially since they're so close and such a focal point on the bedding.. My solution was to just work with what I had received instead of sending it back. I ended up adding additional pillows that I had to help manipulate and hide the standard shams a bit so that it wasn't noticeable.. I used this for one of our custom rentals in Nashville so it was just for Staging and that is why I chose not to send it back.. If you look in the pic they used, the standard shams line up perfectly and that is what I was expecting to receive with mine.. I bought it in the "brown" option and have toyed with getting it in the "neutral" but I've convinced myself that the chance of getting two shams that don't line up is probably a given and bound to happen again..
