Not sure if they're bringing this back, but if they ever do, go ahead and BUY one!, August 18, 2006
~UPDATE~
I've now owned this duvet set for over four months, have run it through the wash countless times, and have yet to switch it out for another duvet set, I love it so much! It's held up very well through constant use and living with two fully clawed cats, and shows no real wear-and-tear. If Amazon offers this one up again, and you're looking for a simple yet elegant, durable duvet set, this one is the one for you!

I got this very promptly after ordering it, and am very happy with it thus far. I haven't run mine through the washing machine yet, so I'm not sure how they hold up after laundering, but this is the perfect duvet set for me. I have cats that tend to shred things with their claws, just in common travel across my bed, and so far, so good.
This also seems to me to be the perfect duvet set for year-round use. Here in good ol' Virginia, I've used this during this year's hot summer without my goosedown comforter inside. Over a simple and lightweight set of sheets, this provides just the right amount of warmth (I like to keep it cool), and plenty of soft, velvety comfort, to keep me happy. I can imagine that when it cools down during wintertime, this will be absolutely ideal with my goosedown comforter tucked inside.
As far as fit goes, I'm sure this is perfectly adequate if you buy the right size for your comforter, and if you have a down comforter that's holding together well, I can't imagine that you'd have any problems with feathers flying about, as one previous reviewer did. At least, no more than with any other duvet.
If you're looking for a nice polyester microsuede duvet set, and this one's offered at a good price, go for it! I ordered the sage color, as pictured, and had no problems getting what I ordered. The sage is perfect for offsetting the dark woods that I have in my bedroom, but not overly feminine, as the guys might be wary of. And at just under twenty bucks (by a penny), what a bargain this was!

Very Nice Indeed......, November 14, 2006
I have to say that I am pleased with the quality and the value for $19.99! When I received this duvet, it still had the Linens N Things $39.99 price tag attached! So I have no idea how Amazon came across this product and is able to sell it for $19.99~ for a KING size no less!!! For those of you who have really wanted to try a microsuede product, but was afraid to (like myself) because you have felt the cheaper quality sold at Walmart and elsewhere that feels super soft when you run your hand across it in one direction, but then feels like sand paper when you run your hand in the other direction - I promise you, this duvet feels super soft any way you feel of it. I am amazed, honostly, that I got this super soft, beautiful bedding for 50% less than it sold at Linens N Things (and I shop alot at that store by the way, and they have awesome products!)! I ordered mine in the Taupe, which will effortlessly coordinate with pretty much any color bedroom accessories that you have. It is a very pretty neutral color that to me is very true to the real suede color. I am pleased and I think that you will be pleased as well with the quality and the value!
