This duvet cover arrived on time. It's very soft and comfy. A month ago I had purchased a pretty heavy down comforter and needed to protect it. The zipper works great, and putting the comforter in the duvet was a team effort with assistance from my husband:) I have a more decorative comforter that I've decided to put over the duvet cover. Completely not necessary, but I wanted to add more dimension than just a solid gray.
