"We were looking for a duvet cover that was more structured and crisp than average. We saw this one in the C&B store and liked it very much. The store told us that it was back-ordered and that it would take two months to get the product so we passed. I went home and ordered it from the website that night and we had the duvet cover in less than a week, just before Christmas!
This cover seems very well made. It is nicely structured, fits our comforter and bed perfectly. The texture is gorgeous. It is the perfect blend of sophistication meets warm and inviting. You just want to get under this comforter cover on a cold night. It is neutral and the texture gives it great depth and interest. I ironed out the wrinkles from the shipping and have not washed it yet. The cover has a clever design for the buttons on the opening so they do not show when the bed is fixed. The shams also have a good design so the openings are not noticable.
The duvet cover plus comforter does get a little heavy to make the bed but not too bad. Used over our down comforter, it gets very warm, which can be a plus or a negative depending on your point of view. There is something substantial on the bed, for sure.
We have two cats who love to sleep on our bed all day. For some reason, maybe the texture, the hair from the cats does not stick to the duvet cover as much as past covers -- another plus.
Overall, we love it and feel confident it will stand up to the test of time!"
