The comforter was just as described.  The previous comments helped with knowing how to fluff the comforter after arrival and out of the box.  It worked well by shaking and letting it air on the bed for a day and then a quick 10 minute air fluff in the dryer and it was good to go.  We did not notice any smell from the down after the air fluff.  It is warmer than needed right now, and this winter it will be put to the test.
