I know you do get what you pay for. I wasn't expecting a high quality set. But I was expecting a set that met at least basic quality standards.
At this price point, I thought for sure I would keep the set. I just printed my return labels.Just received, washed, and installed this great set. For the price it is an excellent value, and the soft-feel, and colors were just what we were looking for. This set is certainly not meant to be the center-piece of your bedroom set, but is a great supporting member of the team of shams, skirts, ruffles, and spreads that make the perfect set.
We used the cover on a white comforter purchased from JC Pennys. It is the faux down variety, very heavy, and billowy, and thick. It slid in quite easily into the cover, and is secured at the bottom by a hidden hem that contains reverse buttoning button fasteners.
Here was where we encountered our first problem. The 2 button holes on the left side were completely sewn shut. This is probably how these are manufactured. However, there is someone using a seam ripper (probably) that goes down the line and opens up the button holes. They missed 2. No reason to freak out, I had a utility knife on me and used it to gently free the stitching to allow the button to go through.
The cover was just the right size to accommodate our King size thick comforter. I could see that you may have an issue if your comforter is of a thinner design. The cover is generous, and could probably even accommodate a comforter 1.5 times thicker than ours. There was no obvious dead or flat areas after securing our duvet inside.
The shams are of the simple slip in design, and fit standard king pillows perfectly.
My overall impression is that some of the stitch work is a bit shabby, but I did NOT have any of the Dark thread some have mentioned here. For the price it is tough to be critical on some of the extremely minor stitching issues. However, I am docking 1 star for the button issue, as this may be a sign of bigger QC issues.This duvet cover is not the same charcoal grey than the charcoal grey sheets sold by the same company (weird) and if you don't iron it, you will have a hard time finding the bottom of the cover while putting the duvet in it, but it's soft, light and beautiful.I was indecisive between two other duvet covers but I'm glad I chose this one! It is incredibly soft and the color is perfect. I was pleasantly surprised of the quality of the duvet cover given the price. Plus, you can't go wrong with the free two-day shipping.Given the price, I was very pleasantly surprised with how soft this duvet cover is! I have a full duvet and it fit very well over it. The cover is easy to put on and take off. I would definitely recommend this product!
