It's very lovely and was certainly a good value.  Unfortunately, it's not big enough for my king size bed.  I looked at the dimensions ahead of time and thought it was going to work, but I should have measured more carefully.  I have a high mattress, as many are these days, and the quilt is not wide enough to cover the mattress.  Therefore there is an exposed gap between the quilt and the bedskirt - which looks very tacky.  Regarding colors, the overall effect is cream, rather than gold.  Also beautiful rose and sage tones.  Super pretty, for sure and the quality seems to be good.  Just measure your bed carefully before ordering.
