This is exactly what I was looking for! A beach lover in the midwest, I searched for bedspreads in several stores. I did not want a comforter, and I wanted an actual spread. Although I feel the foot of the bedspread should be a bit longer and hit the floor as the picture suggests, I am okay with it because our bed sits a bit high. The shells and seahorses design are done well and is not something that strikes you when you first look at it. The navy is a dark navy and what I expected, and I like the option of reversing to the aqua color. Add the shames and it is a great value for the price paid.

What a nice bedspread for the price! It looks stitched and expensive but it's not stitched - it's some heat process that makes it look stitched - so no threads to come apart. It's a light micro-fiber so it has a soft hand. The color is terrific - my husband said he likes is a lot (!) Very lightweight. Not bulky. It was easy to wash in the wash machine and dry in the dryer. Would buy it again. The pattern is very cute with seashells, starfish and seahorses. Subtle design - looks nice on bed. My previous bedspread looked rumpled all the time.

My husband and I were looking for a washable covering for our king-sized bed to replace the one we have now, which is dry-clean only. (We have pets, and they have basically ruined our very nice dry-clean-only silk duvet. Washable is a must these days.) We needed one that comes in dark purple to go with our bedroom decor, and hope this one would fill the bill.

Pros:
This is better-looking in person than in the picture. The shell pattern is cute, and the color is a rich eggplant purple that looked very good in our master bedroom. It's a little redder than the way the picture looks on my computer, but it's pretty close, and the difference could just be due to my monitor settings. It comes with two king-sized shams.

The microfiber texture of the topside is very nice - a soft, almost suede-like texture. The texture of the underside is not quite as nice, but reasonably soft -kind of a poplin texture. We are picky about the texture of our bedding, and do not enjoy rough-textured bedding. We would have been OK with the texture of both sides.

The size is good. So many so-called king-sized coverings are not even big enough to completely cover the sides and end of the mattress. We have a thick Tempurpedic mattress, and this would be big enough to fully cover the sides and end of our mattress. Caveat: if you want to cover your box spring/platform, and you have a king-sized bed, you will want a bedskirt. This will not come to the floor as shown in the picture, unless you go one size up, which, of course, is impossible if you have a king-sized bed.

The quality seems to be reasonably good, especially for the price, based on a cursory inspection. We have seen much more expensive sets that were of a lesser quality than this set.

Cons (only one):
The color of the underside of the bedspread is fuschia. It looks much brighter than in the picture. What were they thinking? The dark eggplant color of the topside looks great in our bedroom, the fuschia underside, not so much. Because of that, and only because of that, we are returning this. If the underside had been less brightly-colored, more of a muted red-violet like the picture, I think we would have been OK with it, but, as it is, the bright lining color looks very "teenagery", but what teenager has a king-sized bed?

For what it's worth, the backside of the shams is the same color as the underside of the bedspread, and the material of both is a lighter material than the outside. The lining does not have the pattern, as shown in the picture. It is a simple poplin texture.

Overall, we would likely have kept this is the lining color hadn't been so lurid.

I have had this coverlet for over a week on my bed and I LOVE it! the colors are vibrant (I ordered the teal) and I love the patterns embossed into it. It is on the thinner side so it easily fits into my smaller washer but still is soft and warm. I also have 2 dogs who like to sleep up on the bed and so far it doesn't seem to collect the dog hair like crazy. I have 2 hound/lab mixes with shorter softer hair and some microfiber blankets seem to show dog hair after just a couple of hours. My dogs don't shed terribly and I am glad to see this doesn't pull off more hair. I am thinking about ordering a second one just so I can have one in the wash while one is on the bed.

I get many compliments on this bedspread. Not my usual color or theme but I recently moved from the desert to the beach so changing things up! The pattern is not too busy and the color is really nice. Easy to put other colors with it. It's not real heavy but it is warm! I just wish it was longer at the foot...length wise. The sides almost go to the floor, which I like, but the head and foot is about 12" short from the floor. I put a bench at the foot of the bed so it isn't too noticeable.
