This is the nicest, most well made duvet cover and pillow shams that I could find for this price by far. The colors are a true grey, beige, and white. The shams were on sale and that was all it took for me to be swayed to this duvet set. It is a nice modern print and the cotton is very durable. Not sheer at all. I truly love this duvet and think I will for years to come.
