The duvet and shams are nice. They are a thin material, which is why I gave them 3 stars; thinner than I like and I believe a bit thinner than most sheets. However, the pattern is very cute and the pillow sham size is very large. I have a sleep number pillow, which is oversized and kidney shaped and they fit into these shams with room left over. The shams zipper closed, which is nice and will keep the pillows clean.
