Love the colors - exactly what I was expecting! I ordered the king size for my queen sized bed because we have a deeper mattress. It fits perfectly. On the sides it goes just past the mattress, about 2" down the side of the box spring, and the length covers the end of the mattress and reaches all the way to the headboard. Note: the stripes go lengthwise along the mattress, opposite of what is shown (for the king size).
