I bought this not realizing what a duvet was (assumed it was a comforter).  That being said, the pattern is beautiful and the fabric feels great.  Wish it came with small decorative pillows instead of just the pillow cases, but that wasn't a big deal.  Wasn't too hard to get the comforter in the duvet and buttoned up, although definitely easier with 2 people.   Happy with the set for the price.
