Just bought this set because it was on sale, and I can't say it was worth even the $24 it ended up being (plus shipping/handling). I'm a completist so I wanted to make sure I got all Kaya's official stuff in case it ever retired, so I was happy to get it on sale.
The tops of the furs look nice, but I really dislike the texture of the fabric underneath. I know furs aren't double sided, but they should have used some sort of suede underneath rather than a scratchy burlap feeling cloth. The shield is pretty, but is very small and cheap feeling. The whole thing is lightweight plastic and is not very stable at all. I'm tempted to recreate it out of real sticks and suede. I was also disappointed to see that they changed the pillow to one big white chunk of fur rather than a wrap. Again, might try to recreate that myself.
Grade: C+
