I was sincerely hoping the reviewers were an uncommon experience, so I went ahead and ordered the king for our king bed.  It was not only WAY too small, the colors were dull, and the pattern is only on the bottom 2/3 of the spread.  The shams were o.k. in the set I received, but the colors were dull and uninspiring, not at all like the beautiful vibrant colors in the photo.  Skip this set, and spend some money to get a good quality set.
