This is a nice light weight coverlet - perfect for AZ. You can't tell from the picture but it does need a bed skirt as it does not fall to the floor on any of the three sides. (I hate it when pictures imply a bedspread is bigger than it is.)  I also  wish the shams were a bit larger - they don't really cover the entire width of the queen bed.  I think they're made for a double bed but they suffice.
