The colours of the quilt are quite a lot more muted than what appeared in the photos, though they are nice enough. I made the mistake of looking at the size in the photos i.e. the quilt totally covers the mattress and boxspring. Not so when it arrived! It barely covers the king-sized mattress (and then only on the one side where it was pulled down further). It does not cover the boxspring at all. The little pillows look quite silly on our large king-sized bed. I'm guessing from the proportions in the photos that it was shown on a double bed or smaller. Once I received it, I checked the website again and did find the sizes, had I checked that before I definitely would not have bought it. As always, it is "buyer beware".
