This item was vacuum sealed very tightly. There were two pillow shams that were separate, so I was able to see and feel the color and texture of the fabric before opening the sealed blanket. This was a great decision because the light blue color varied significantly from the advertised photo. It is more of a cyan light aqua blue instead of the pictured medium blue. I tried to take a picture of the color but the camera unfortunately doesn't capture the bright cyan tones. The texture was rough and I could see the individual threads, suggesting that this is not 600 thread count as advertised. Then when I went to do a return, the process has become complicated. Supposedly I have to pay for return shipping even though I have prime, and if I had opened the vacuum bag that would have become almost impossible to return or would have cost a lot more. I also have to wait 5 days for the seller to send me a return label. I won't be buying from this seller again, as the quality, color, and return service are not what I expected nor paid over $100 for.
