I bought the eggplant bedspread and the color is beautiful! Eggplant can be a bit too brownish, but not this eggplant. The bedspread is soft, luxurious, well-made. I'd call it medium weight. We use it over a comforter for winter (mountain weather in the teens at night) because I just prefer that extra fabric holding in the warmth of the comforter. Our summers are plenty warm enough at night to use this chenille bedspread along with the top sheet (as opposed to the double top sheets we used when living in the desert). A few people have mentioned "shedding," but we have had none of that. Our bed is a Casper king size with four-inch memory foam on top and the bedspread hangs about 8 inches from the floor on the sides, pooling only slightly at the end corners. An excellent quality bedspread at a moderate price.
