This quilt is the perfect weight - not too heavy like a comforter but not too thin where you need more blankets. It is also large enough to cover the sides and end of our king sized bed, and the colors were true to the picture. Some people commented on the smell of the quilt when it arrived; it smells like a blanket that has been sitting in a warehouse and just needs to be washed? It may have said this in the description, but I missed it: the pillow shams are for king sized pillows not standard.
