It's not quite large enough to really be defined as an oversized spread. The colors are MUCH brighter, almost child-like, than pictured. I would have returned it but my husband already tossed the box, the bag and the packing slip. And since one of my dogs likes to 'dig' at night, it won't be around that long. Pro: it's actually pretty well made. (The reverse pattern is much less obnoxious-- guess how I'm using it?)
