I have never had a duvet cover before, so I did not know what to expect.  I received the items in a nice, plastic, zip-bag.  They were wrinkled, but a wash and short tumble in the dryer remedied this.  The comforter slipped in the pillowcase-like duvet cover easily and zipped up without issue.  The texture of the fabric is smooth and soft.  The soft grey,  wheat pattern complements any other colors one might have in the bedroom.
