I have been searching for a classsic-looking, king-sized bedspread or oversized-quilt that works with our color scheme.  Our mattress/box-springs are 26" high and this quilt works perfectly.  The material is very soft with just the right amount of loft for my taste, and the stitching is perfect.  I wash all new bedding before using, but this had no smell at all when opened.  Like it so much plan to buy other colors for guest rooms.
