The material soft and I love that the duvet is reversible. The closure has buttons instead of a zipper but there are plenty of them, spaced evenly, so it works just fine. The sizing is a bit big. I ordered a king for a king comforter and could have gotten a queen for a more snug fit. My only con is how light or should I say almost sheer the duvet is. Whatever you fill it with may give shadows or show patterns.
