Super soft and pattern is on both sides, which is nice. The ties in the corners help keep the duvet in place. The pattern looks a little like brushstrokes but from far away it does look nice. The reason I didn’t give it five stars is it is a little hot because it’s microfiber and the fact that it’s not a true gray. It’s more like a stone beige- gray. Works fine for my room but if you’re looking for a true gray this is not it. ￼ It is nice that it’s super long on all sides so it gives you a little extra fabric even with the queen duvet.  If you want your duvet to go corner to corner make sure it’s bigger than 90x90. ￼￼ I will try to add a picture once my bed is made
