The colors are vibrant and beautiful. The fabric is heavy and soft. If you use use your duvet instead of/without a flat sheet, this is perfect as it is 100% cotton and can be thrown in the wash with the rest of the bedding weekly. The twin xl is wider and longer than a standard twin. Consider finding a duvet insert will fit properly or there will be too much slack on the sides and length. It is seemingly perfect except that it washed slightly crooked. I bought two, and they both did so. It still lies very well on the bed, but this might bother some people.
