After our cleaning lady finished, I placed our new comforter set on our adjustable King sized bed. It has been difficult to find a bed skirt that will work with all the electrical and mechanical devices on the platform and surrounding areas. This one works quite well and I was able to get it to fit all the way around with some fancy finagling. The comforter is not lightweight - perfect for the upcoming fall months. I don't believe we will need a blanket - plus the amount of material is just right. My husband is well, a blanket hog...lol...there is plenty for him and for me on this - not need to keep pulling back and forth!
