The duvet set is wonderful. I tossed it in the dryer with a wet towel for a few minutes and placed it on the bed, it looked great. I am very pleased with the quality and the very subtle sheen. The vertical striped edging makes it easy to line up both sides when making the bed. The material is an excellent weight and worth the money. I had purchased a less expensive set and am using it in my guest room, it is not as heavy and does not have the vertical stripes.
