Comments about DKNY Color Block Bedding Set:
My husband and I purchased the Color Block Rust bedding ensemble about 3 months ago. I had searched EVERYWHERE for good quality bedding that I knew I wouldn't get tired of in 6 months! I was very excited when I came across this set! Unique colors, high quality, simple design. I couldn't wait to get it in the mail! When the products arrived, they were fabulous; looked just like the pictures. They needed a little ironing out from being packaged up, but that was expected.
I threw the sheets in the wash (cold water, tumble dry) just as instructed, and when they came out, I about had a heart attack!! The colors had faded horribly! They looked like I had washed them a million times! I was furious because I would expect this from some dollar store sheets, but not DKNY! I paid good money for this whole set and after one wash I was half-tempted to ship it back! I love this set, so I didn't do that, but I will be having to replace my sheets soon :(
Another drawback I have found is that after washing the regular shams, you have to iron the pleats back down, and some of them get twisted up and look sort of funny...
I would recommend this set to someone who wants it for a guest bedroom that doesn't get used often, or to someone who doesn't mind a little extra work on their bedding every time they wash it.
