Very happy with this duvet cover and the king sized pillow cases. It is perfectly white and very soft. The pillow cases are indeed king size (some sets have king duvets with standard sham covers) which is great. The fabric isn't super thick so make sure your sham inserts are white as well - stripes will provable show through the fabric. Same with whatever comforter you put inside the duvet cover. I would buy this again - very happy with the feel of the fabric and the discrete buttons at the top.
