This is a lovely quilt set. I ordered ivory and the color is consistent throughout all pieces of the set. It has a very high amount of detailed stitching and has an old fashioned look. The king size adequately, but just barely, covers a 15" mattress with a quilted mattress protector on top (adding a bit more height). It obviously does not cover the box springs, so a bed skirt is necessary. I did not wash the quilt before putting it on as it said specifically to line dry. A 100% cotton could conceivably shrink in the dryer, and this quilt would not cover the mattress completely if that happened.
The stitching seems quite adequate. There are a few loose thread ends on the underside (which looks nearly identical to the topside) which I will need to tie off before washing. I did have to sew the end of the seam binding back on the last 1/2", but it was nothing difficult.
I am fairly certain that when I ordered, the identifying information at that time stated that king sized shams would be sent with the king size quilt. I am curious whether I overlooked this information, as I decided against many other quilt sets specifically because king shams were not included, or if the description has been updated to adequately reflect the size that are sent - standard.
The quilt and shams themselves are well made, intricately stitched, and are quite beautiful. You can't go wrong at this price.
