THE COLOR

I ordered the blue in a queen size. The color of this bedspread is not the color pictured on the listing. In fact, its not even the color shown in MY photo. For some reason, the color changes when captured digitally. I can hold my phone or tablet up next to this spread with the image on my screen and its WAY different. What I got is not the pretty blue, you see on the listing, instead its a BEAUTIFUL green/blue that reminds me of the color of the water on the Emerald Coast (Florida Panhandle). Which was perfect, because Im going for a beach theme in my guest room.

THE SIZE

I ordered the queen size for my 10" queen size mattress on a 16" metal frame for an overall height of 26". This is a bedspread, meaning that it goes all the way to the floor. I still use a bed skirt because I have storage under my platform bed frame (one of those metal frames that sits up higher and also serves as a box spring mattress). However, a bedskirt is not needed. The pillow covers fit a standard size pillow.

THE MATERIAL AND WORKMANSHIP

This is thin and stamped instead of sewn and very light. Its labeled as 100% polyester and feels like a brushed cotton blend. Its not scratchy or snaggy. The stamping is a pretty design. It arrived wrinkled and bunchy. I expect wrinkles on something new, but this is very difficult to pull the puckers out flat when making the bed. I did notice that after my first guests used it for three days it seems a little better now. Many other reviewers state this doesn't wash well. I wish I had read that before purchasing (funny how those reviews always seem to be found AFTER I place my orders, lol). So I'm going to have my guests turn it down at night and use a blanket to cover up while sleeping. There is one blunder on the piping right smack dabb in the center of the top where I fold it over. It looks like missed stitching, but it isnt, it is the rough edge folded over and not trimmed (see my 2nd photo). Im afraid to cut it, so I will cover it with throw pillows.

THE CORNERS

Hmmm,.......well I personally feel they should have been rounded, because they jute out into the already small room giving it a weird look and an opportunity to step on them. So I tucked them under and safety pinned them out of the way. I like this look better. I will post pictures so you can see what I mean. See photos 3 - 5, 3rd shows how it jutes out, 4th shows it pinned up, 5th shows the results.

VALUE

I feel its a bit overpriced. I have another quilted coverlet that I paid the same price for that is a far better quality with real stitching and washes well.

I ordered the king size and after washing, it barely hangs over the bed on either side. The hem also started to rip after a few washings, but the seller would not let me return it because the 30 day return window was passed. Skip this one.

**I have relied heavily on reviews for years, since I do most of my shopping online. I've finally starting trying to return the favor by writing reviews of products I love. I hope my review was helpful to you!**

Loved it when it arrived. Perfect weight for my climate, elegant, washed and hung dry easily. But, after 2-3 washes the "embossed" design came out. It is not real stitching. So, after just a few weeks looks like it is years old. :(

Just put it on our king size bed. I'm very happy with this quilt. It's 100% polyester so it will still be warm even though it's thin. It's a pleasing light gray. The pattern is stamped into it. No real thread stitches, but no one would know unless you told them. Our cat can't pull threads! Haha..And it says oversized. Absolutely. Most generously sized quilt I've ever owned. Hangs down nicely on both sides and lots of length to turn down at the head too.

Washes easily. Fits inside and holds together in the washer. This is a MUST when you have dogs and live on a muddy ranch.
