This is an excellent bedspread. I love it. The color was exactly as shown. It is not heavy but says in place as it is cotton opposed to the ones that have a polyester covering that slides all over the bed. I ordered the king size for our queen size bed as I like it to hang longer on the sides. It is perfect. I had been looking for a bedspread fo a long time and am so pleased with this item. I highly recommend it to anyone.
