Conflicting quilt set purchase

So I got it and a few days earlier during the pandemic I might have added that it actually looked like the picture. I was pleasantly surprised and a little disappointed with the purchase. I ordered a gray queen size 4 piece set with yellow flowers. It should come with a blanket, bed skirt and two throws. I wasn't disappointed. I got exactly that PLUS two gray pillowcases and two throw pillows which I didn't see in the ad. I think the gray pillows were for the European size pillows as they didn't match mine and were more square anyway which was a pleasant surprise for me. My disappointment came with the ceiling. The top looked slightly discolored compared to the bottom like it was sitting in the sun but honestly it could have been a yellow cast and I didn't take that into account. The seams were a real disappointment. My grandmother was a seamstress and I was taught at a young age that the seams in this dress look like they were done by a child, loose straps, holes where they were removed and frayed threads that came undone and a trip in the school would not survive washing machine. The first thing I have to do is hire a suitable seamstress to fix the seams, but when that's done I think it will be a good quilt. If this is going to go in the washing machine I would suggest a gentle cycle and air dry which will hopefully prevent the cotton from sticking inside. From the appearance, I can say that the skirt should not be dried in a high-temperature dryer either. It melts due to the material it is made of. The package came in a nondescript brown box with a picture of my product on the side so it was crumpled when I pulled it out of the plastic sealed inside the box. I'd suggest opening it up and letting it sit, and if it's still shrunken maybe blow some air through. The material seems thin so I'm not sure if it will stand up to the heat but I haven't tried it so I'm not sure. It looks good though and the extras saved it from a 2-3 star rating. I would be fine without the extras as I wasn't expecting a freebie but when I buy a duvet set I want it to last a few years and good strong quality stitching is a must! In total I gave four because I was happy with the receipt of more than expected and the speed of delivery in such difficult times. Thanks to whoever grabbed it! However, the quality of the stitching means I probably won't be buying another Grand Linen product, this was a huge hurdle for me. If they improved this I would definitely buy from them again as I haven't had any general issues otherwise. I'll try to remember to follow up on the review after using the set for a while to see how it holds up.
