Much nicer than expected.  The coverlet is a medium weight... not too light nor too heavy but has enough bulk to do very well as a bedspread.  It is also nice and large.  It covers our queen bed almost all the way to the floor (although we do have a low profile box spring so if yours is not it would be a little higher).  The colors are gorgeous too.  The top print is a nice subtle tan, turquoise, and mint green... the underneath side is such a pretty turquoise with fun polka dots in white.  Cute, cute, cute.  Perfect for our ocean themed room.  Also nice quality in the quilting as well as the fabric. I have already ordered another set.
