I looked at a lot of comforters and read a lot of reviews on Overstock.com before purchasing this one, and it paid off. This comforter set is perfect for our bedroom. It is truly over sized and covers the mattress and box spring down to the wood railing on our oak bed, and the end fits very well between our foot board and the matress. The overall color is a very pale gold with light green and salmon accent stitching. The back of the comforter is a neutral sand color--the salmon color would have been nicer as the back side, but with the four shams and three pillows included, not a problem. The bed skirt is a nice contrast with the gold and salmon stripes--the salmon leans toward more coral than pink--and having the stripes on two of the shams and one side of the fringed accent pillow really coordinates it with the bed skirt. The comforter is a good medium weight, and the fabric is not slick, which I like. There is also the extra nice touch of small braiding around the comforter edges and some of the shams.
