The duvet it is soft and very pretty. It's a rich, dark black, very modern, very sleek, very simplistic.
One thing for sure it is not wrinkle resistant. The picture is right out of the dryer. I did not iron it. I wanted to put it on the bed and see how it fits. I have a king size bed, so it doesn't quite cover the entire bed, but the comforter fits in it with no issues at all. The side zipper makes it so easy put on your comforter, even if you're doing it on your own. What a nice way to not have to clean the comforter as often.
