Amazing Duvet

I didn't see this in the store, only online and got it for my shower. We love it. It is true to the picture. Only suggestion is to get cream colored sheets. The white doesn't look very good because the duvet is more of a taupe and cream color.

I LOVE THIS COVER! It is so so soft and comfortable. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is the closure buttons aren't very secure and always come undone. Other than that- AWESOME!

The Company Store makes comforters that are "oversized" and fit nicely into this duvet cover! This cover washes up very nicely!

I fell in love with this Duvet when I first saw it but I didn't want to spend the money on it, but after several other purchases and returns I decided to get it. I still do love it, but I have no idea why they would make a duvet with measurements of 110 x 94 when there is not an insert in the world that fits that size, its annoying because the insert slips around because it doesnt fit quite right and it never will unless I have one custom made!!!!! It also does get very wrinkled. All that aside I still do love it but whoever came up with the measurements you were WAY OFF!!!!

I love, love this bedding!! In fact,i bought everything included in the entire ensemble...The only complaint I have is that it has to be ironed to look good! I spent 3 hrs yesterday on ironing & steaming the duvet and all the pillow shams.There is no way around it.I'm a bit of a fanatic but,regardless,you have to iron it unless you want it to look terrible.I even pay close attention making sure not to keep it in the dryer to long because then,it turns into a big ball of wrinkles...if u don't mind all the labor involved in getting it to look good...its beautiful once you spend the time and then i panic if my husband thinks of lying on it ...lol

Absolutely beautiful bedding

I purchased the King duvet for my DEEP queen mattress and it's HUGE! But I also found that I like the look of tucked in corners. I used a satin blanket I had as a duvet insert and I find I don't actually need the ties...though I would prefer some inside. The color is GORGEOUS, and as others have said, it's not gray or beige...it's GREIGE. It will match a gray room perfectly, or taupe, or beige. Very versatile. I even paired it with slate/charcoal and cream pillows that look AWESOME. I went for a monochromatic design in the room, using Moroccan-inspired wallpaper, cream-gray walls with this bedding and I LOVE it.
Plus, I have two small dogs that get up on the bed and love to play (unfortunately....) but the bedding is wearing very well. The print hides dirt despite the light color and it washes up with a bit of oxyclean and warm water in a pinch. I would definitely recommend this to families with pets. No nail snags either (keep in mind my dogs are small though).
Also, if you're considering this bedding but aren't 100% sold on the color, consider changing your lighting. More blue/white light will make it look more soft gray; yellow light will bring out the brown hues. Enjoy.

Wedding gift

We received this as a wedding gift and it is beautiful. 2 things to note: it is not silver. it's more of a light tan/taupe almost grayish, but very pretty. It's also quite larger than expected. We got the Seasons brand at BBB oversized King comforter and it works perfectly fine with it.

I bought this in-store before reading any reviews and we absolutely love it! The sizing for our king bed was just fine. I'm just having a hard time finding the king shams to match. I didn't care for the bed sheet set they offered (only 280 count) so I found my own brown/gray set to match. It looks more brown in the picture; it actually has more of a pewter tone in certain lighting, fyi, but this works in our room. Me = happy.

Not the best purchase. For the money, I feel like the duvet is NOT worth it. There aren't any ties to keep the comforter from bunching inside the cover. I like the size of the duvet but you have to have an oversized comforter to fill it. And why aren't there any ties inside? It is beautiful and so far it is holding it's color but I do not think it is worth the money.

Misrepresented in photos

Upon finding this duvet cover online and loving it, I called my local BBB and requested that one of them be put on hold for me to pick up. Upon pickup I noticed that the actual duvet cover is more of a sand color, as opposed to the slate gray color represented in the photos online AND on the actual package of the duvet cover. If the color was actually gray, this would have been perfect for my new master bedroom. Sadly, I'm still on the hunt.

Elegant Duvet

I also purchased two shams and a neckroll to complete the look. The material feels silky and luxurious to the touch and the colors are true to the picture.
After washing, the duvet was wrinkled and needed a light touch-up with the iron. I'm hoping after future laundering it won't need it.
Overall, I'm quite pleased with my purchase!
