The duvet cover was very easy to use and made bed making so much simpler. I was a little surprised at the pillow covers as I expected the long flat part to tuck in but realised it was more like a pillow sham,so it did make putting the covers on easier. The fitted sheet was a little harder as it has elastic all the way round. Everything washed and ironed well. As I don't use a bedcover - the room is too small to have an extra chair in to put the thing on at night- the actual colour of the bed linen is important. Can't stand pink and would prefer not to have white, but the blue was fine. Look forward to any other colours, not a pink though, that you might be having made up in future. All told very satisfied.
