I bought this to put over an old comforter that had lost its luster.  The new duvet brightened up the room, and the fact that it's reversible is a real plus for when I feel the need for a minor change.  The colors are cheerful, my husband likes the print, and even the cat seems happy with the new look.  I haven't yet washed it, so I'm not sure how well it will hold up.  But I am very happy with this so far.
