This beautiful coverlet fits my king size bed perfectly and falls very nicely on the sides of the bed. It is somewhat lightweight, but I find that I need to throw it back during the night because I get too warm;  it can be used through the fall. I chose the burnt orange color to match my bed and my drapes; the color matched wonderfully, I love it!  The shams are really oversized, so just be aware of that. I washed it when I received it and it did not shrink nor discolor at all, and it took about 90 minutes in the dryer to completely dry. I plan on purchasing the queen size coverlet in another color for one of my other bedrooms. Canora came through with the quality and design. I am very happy with this coverlet!
