★★☆☆☆
Nicely made, but chemical residue triggered asthma attacks
Nice quilt, well constructed, no obvious seam flaws, etc. King size gives just right coverage on our overly tall queen mattress. Want to like it and keep it, but I have (well managed, usually) asthma, and this has some sort of chemical treatment on the fabric I can feel with my fingers (slightly oily) and it quickly triggered an asthma attack on opening. After airing a couple of days, we tried washing it, but still felt slightly oily coming out of washer and worse, in the dryer a lot more of the chemical was released by the heat triggering another, worse asthma episode. Looking back at the detailed description there's a not real obvious mention of wrinkle resistance. Most wrinkle resistant fabric is treated with formaldehyde and that's a serious respiratory irritant and toxic chemical. I think this wasn't properly cleaning to remove the residue in the factory. I've had this problem occaisionally with other fabric products from China. If you don't' have breathing problems, I'd say this is a good product, but otherwise consider this. I'm returning it.
