As other reviewers stated, the comforter is on the lighter side. It’s not ideal for colder environments without additional blankets for warmth. As well, the only thing that is Cal King about the sizing is the bed skirt, which I didn’t need because of the bed frame. The comforter is the same dimensions as a standard King comforter. So, essentially, it’s too short at the top of the bed to make it look balanced at the foot of the bed. Not to mention, I’m using it on a queen sized bed with a 3” foam topper on top of the mattress. 

Aside from the poor sizing, the colors are beautiful. It looks great when the bed is made and once the walls get painted it will look even better. 

I was able to wash the comforter in my extra large washing machine without any trouble. The batting held up nicely and I would have confidence knowing it would hold up if I need to wash it again.
