This bedspread fits so well. It covers the sides better than most spreads. My bed is antique and sits high and off the ground so underneath can be used. I don't care for skirts because they are hard to change out when I switch to another spread or comforter. This spread has long sides so if your bed sits on the floor this product is not for you. Each square is sewn together just like my grandma used to do. Very authentic and beautiful.
