Riveting effect on the bed. Colors vibrant, size for my king size bed slightly too wide and slightly too short but it works just fine. Even though I loved the tassels, I kept hooking my toes in them when I walked passed. So! I cut them off and hemmed the cover, removing the redundant width in the process. The instructions say "dry clean only", which I though probably had to do with the tassels and perhaps also the natural dyes which can run. Now that it's tassel-free, I have washed it with very good results...no shrinkage and only extremely minimal color loss.
