I have a queen bed  (not one of those really tall beds) but I still ordered a king. I was really disappointed.  It barely came half way down the mattress and could see the sheets below it because it was so short.  There was a lot for length but very short on the sides, especially for a king size.  Colour was exactly as the picture showed on the site. The under side on the coverlet had several spots where the threads were all gathered and bunched, like the bobbin on the machine that made it wasn't working properly.
