The colors are OK, they don't seem as vibrant as in the picture. The quilt is very lightweight. One reviewer said it was the perfect summer weight quilt and that might be true. That's definitely the only time I'll be able to use it. It's too bad I wanted it as a year-round quilt that would add warmth to my bed in the winter. It's definitely not heavy enough to provide warmth as it seems to have no padding in it. It appears to be two pieces of fabric sewn together and quilted, so it has the weight of two sheets. It arrives vacuum packed in a very small box with instructions to put it in the dryer for 20 minutes to fluff it up and get the wrinkles out. I had hoped the air from the dryer would add a little heft, but no such luck. I guess you get what you pay for though, the price was pretty low. So, if you looking for a very light weight bedspread type quilt, this could be what you're looking for. If you want something warm, keep looking.
