I'm not sure why bedding manufacturers don't make all bedspreads 'oversized.'  We all want a bedspread that covers the box spring and falls close to the floor.  Because my mattress set isn't a high one, this bedspread was the perfect size.  The colour was exactly what I was looking for.  I'm very pleased with it.  It's a little lighter weight than I expected, but I have a duvet underneath.   Very pleased
