This duvet set is amazing. It reminds me of the chenille bedspreads that were so popular when I was a kid, but it's very much updated. AND it doesn't shed lint. That's a huge plus for me. Also, it's 100% cotton, so it's machine washable and dryable. Best of all, the light gray color pops against my dark gray accent wall! I received this set in return for my honest opinion.
