Overall, the duvet cover is great. The texture, appearance, and color are all as pictured. I washed it after receiving it and it held up well. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the material is so thin. If you are interested in the white one - which is what I purchased - make sure your pillows and duvet insert are completely white. Anything darker, even off-white, will show through. The faint stripes in my white duvet insert even show through if you look closely. Otherwise, just what I wanted!
