I set out wanting a color scheme with bright/vivid colors. I knew I wanted something with flare that was modern but girly- and not primary colors. When I saw this online, I knew this was what I wanted.
I read other reviews on other JoJo products that some of the colors are not accurate in the pictures, however I felt the product description and pictures were fairly accurate. I would describe the "pink" as more of a raspberry shorbet color but still very cute.
We aren't due until October and are still finishing the baby room, so I haven't washed or assembled the bedding however I did look over the stiching and seams. While I wouldn't call it the highest quality, it does appear that it will hold up to washing but for how long I'm not sure... That said, I only plan to use this bedding for a year or two, so I suspect or rather hope, the quality is there for at least that many washes.
I will say my only disappointments were the material quality and unnecessary items. I'm accustom to the infant/toddler bedding being around 200(+) thread count and typically very soft in nature. This set is not 200 thread count, which is probably why they do not advertise any thread count, nor does it seem very soft- but then again I haven't washed it. The printed material (with the hot pink and lime green circles) is better quality than the hot pink material, however it's not the material used on the fitted sheets or the majority of the quilt. I planned to buy more fitted sheets anyway and found some on Amazon that are dotted with similar colors that have a higher thread count. Personally, I don't think I'll use the bedding quilt much- I think of them more as 'for show'.
Also the "toy bag" isn't much of anything practical (it's the rectanglular shaped holder on the wall in the picture). It has four material-slots that are about 4 in x 6 in (just eyeballing it) and only supportted by three sets of tie strings. I'm not sure of any real use and actually plan to undo the seams and make a throw pillow for the rocking chair with it. Also, the diaper bin and round pillow (pictured if you look closely in one of the close-ups) are pretty worthless items- in my opinion.
Overall, I would say you're really paying for a bright and cheery bumper (which seems very sturdy, especially considering it's short-time use in the grand scheme of baby bedding), fitted sheet (not the softest of materials), a quilt (again, not that soft but seems just the right amount of thickness for cool/cold weather if you did plan to use it), a crib skirt (has breaks in material for the corners/legs of the crib- a huge plus in my book), and window valances... and a few other fluff things you really don't need (toy bag, diaper holder, and round pillow). Still considering a lot of bedding sets on the market, this set has a lot to offer.
I will say that I didn't buy this set on Amazon and I paid half the amount it's listed (including my shipping). That said, I think I'm more understanding of low thread counts and the unnecessary items- especially since I got the colors and fun design I was looking for. Plus I also ordered a second crib set in coordinating colors to switch out every so often or when washing the other- Bananafish Lilly Collection. (I'd recommend the Lilly Collection if you wanted something in the same color scheme, modern, and with a touch of traditional.)
