I cannot say enough great things about this set. I bought the king size for my queen bed so I did not have to mess with a dust ruffle. This worked out perfectly! I use the king shams with a regular pillow and just tuck the end under.  I am glad someone got smart and made the pillow insert opening at the side seem! The bonus for me is the reverse side of solid coral looks nice also. I feel like I have two sets of bedding for the price of one. I am so glad I found this and did not hesitate to buy it! Love the colors
