Ok so the material itself isnt bad. The cover fits the duvet well. I dont mind the gold ribbon being on one side either. What I find baffling is that the ribbon appears to be sown on with the shiny side down and it doesnt lay flat due to only being sown on one edge (same goes for the shams).  After reading reviews now I get it! I thought people wanted the ribbon to go all away around, maybe some do, but sown on one side meaning the ribbon itself is sown on one edge. Again not a major disappointment but simply odd. For the price you kinda just let it go... Washed ok. Some threads got loosened.
