This quilt is very nice.  I'm using it as a bed runner on the end of my bed (and maybe for warmth during the winter - we'll see!).  So the size isn't as important for me.  But if I were using it as my bed covering (king) it wouldn't be wide enough to cover the entire bed and have much drop on the sides of the bed.  I didn't pay much attention to the width when ordering, just that it was a king.  It wouldn't have worked for the main bed covering.  But personally, I love it for I purchased it for.
