Review on Mixinni Country Style Duvet Cover Queen Size Patchwork Pattern Soft Cotton Floral Print Full Bedding Set 1 Duvet Cover With Zipper Ties 2 Matching Pillowcases,Easy Care, Quality Soft Breathable by Melody Young

I saw this duvet cover on a TV show, grabbed my laptop and began Googling to find it. I found it here and on two other sites. The other sites charged well over twice what I paid on Best Buy. The rub, on the other sites, the reverse side had a pattern versus solid color, and one pillowcase had a design on the far left and the other, the far right, making them more symmetrical for bedscaping (yep, that is actually a thing!). I was torn between the two and then realized, I never use the reverse side of any of my duvet sets and would anyone actually notice the non-symmetrical pillows when I have throw pillows on my bed? Also, I have dogs. So do I want to pay over twice what I'm paying here for the same design? Nope.When you first open the bag it comes in, the fabric feels and looks "silky" (poly blend?). Concerned about the fabric, I began looking for a sewn in tag (which is usually on most duvet covers) and couldn't find one (to see the fabric type/washing instructions). It did however have a card with washing instructions, etc. I tossed it in the washer and dried it on the Wrinkle Free setting. I immediately put it on my bed with a furry throw and pillows. LOVE IT! After washing, it loses that initial silky feeling and sheen, but it's soft enough ( I use a flat sheet, so that doesn't matter to me). I wanted something colorful for Spring/Summer and this Chinoiserie design is perfect! I usually stay with calming, softer colors, so I was surprised that I gravitated so much to this design and I'm so glad I did! It's just the pop of color I was looking for!The ONLY complaint I have about this set are the pillow shams (which is why I didn't give it 5-stars). They share the same pattern with a large bird on the Left and both close on the Right. The bird is placed on the far left on each pillow versus one on the Left and one on the Right (they did it right with the costly set) and the button closures should be on opposing side. This detail was not overlooked in the costly set, but add some throw pillows and no one will be the wiser.As for those who complained about the 'cartoon eyes' in the pattern or feeling 'watched', if I were younger, I would not have likely gravitated to the color or design. But as I've gotten older, I appreciate Chinoiserie design. The eyes are not cartoonish but match the style of design. So before you buy, enlarge the bird faces and get a good look.Details: The pillowcases have buttons to secure them and the duvet has a hidden zipper. The color is not gold or dijon yellow but more of a darker citronella (the color, not the plant color) or Karmann Ghia Puce.
