We love many things about this bedspread - its a beautiful pattern and color (we got the denim color - its a blue / grey, not a vivid denim, and that was perfect).  It is also big enough for a california king... we have tried many other bedspreads that claim to be big enough and they were not.  What we did not like as well, but have gotten used to, is how light it is.  we have always slept with a quilt, so in order to have the same weight feel we used this with a light solid blanket under it... and then it was perfect.  A small work around to get the other items we needed (especially the size!).  It washes well, looks good... I recommend this.
