Europa Fine Linens English Rose Matelasse Bedding, King Sham Size 20-Inch by 36-Inch, Yellow

We received this coverlet in a timely fashion. But when we unwrapped it, it really, *really* stank of a chemical odor and had a greasy texture. Just unfolding it and carrying it down to our washing machine gave me an itchy rash on my hands.Washing it once removed most (but not all) of the chemical smell, but even though I washed it in cold and dried it on low, the coverlet has apparently significantly shrunk. The description says the king should be 96"x104". After washing it, it has shrunk to 90"x104". I hope it doesn't shrink anymore!Aside from the stink, the rash, and the shrinking, I like the design and the ivory color.

When I received this item, I felt that it looked like what I expected. I immediately washed and dried the bedspread according to the instructions. It was very disappointing to see the product after I washed it. First of all, the creases in the material from being folded and in a package did not come out. And, even worse, the scalloped edges all around the bedspread frayed, so you saw areas of white on the blue edging. I felt this was unacceptable for a brand new item, so I returned it.

Since I have a queen sized mattress with a giant pillowtop mattress I need a king size coverlet to fall long enough to cover the mattress and springs. And I wanted a good quality matelasse to replace the one that I had. This coverlet is made in Portugal, not China and is quality construction. The pattern is subtle and pleasing and the ivory is a true ivory and not too yellow. I was concerned that the price being so low for this product would indicate skimpy fabric or uneven stitches. Not so! This is as pretty as the Peacock Alley coverlet that I had that was 3 times the price. Highly recommended and I'm very glad to have found this on Amazon.Addendum: I washed the coverlet and dried it in the dryer on medium. It SHRUNK. So beware. It is now about the size of a regular queen size coverlet. I just can't put anything on my bed that hasn't been washed. Maybe line drying would have been ok.

I like this coverlet, though will note that it shrunk in the wrong direction. Based on other reviews, I bought a king size coverlet for my queen bed and promptly washed it (it kind of smelled coming out of the packaging, anyway). I didn't measure the coverlet before washing, but after a delicate wash and low heat drying, it now measures 102x87. I wish it hadn't shrunk so much in the width and shrunk more in the length as the corners still drag on the floor. Also, note that one side is straight, while the other three are scalloped, which limits your options for purposes of turning the coverlet 90 degrees. And the scalloping seems rather more pronounced in person, as opposed to the picture. Oh, and the ivory is ivory, but looks a bit closer to white (and less beige) than the picture.

What do I like most about this coverlet? It's beautiful at a beautiful price. I was so pleased that it was a light, soft, sage green - the color shown for king/queen coverlet. I washed the coverlet as soon as it arrived. I didn't measure it, but it fits my queen bed just the way I hoped it would. No need for me to take a photo - trust me, it fits my bed perfectly and I'm happy. The material is so soft and when I pull it back at night it does not leave a crease across the middle of the coverlet. Pulling it halfway or 3/4 down at night leaves enough material to add a bit more warmth to my feet and legs. Happy, Happy! Thank you!

Quite nice. I wanted a pretty spread as an alternative to the usual comforters as nighttime temperatures have been so changeable. I now mostly use just this coverlet with a light quilt underneath, and keep a heavier quilt folded at the end of the bed for the occasional deep freeze night. This coverlet feels durable without being heavy and is large enough to really cover the bed. I like that it has a pretty matelassé design but is a solid color. It will work with whatever drapes I use and no clashing prints.

the color in the pic is what I wanted and expected---sage green. the color I got, marked sage green on package, was a very light green---.washed item in cool water---gentle dry---it was frayed! it is a nice weight and pattern. also beware illustration shows shams--- which are Not included for price!wish color shown was what I got

I was careful to read the entire description. I always, always, always order only 100% cotton bed things. This was described as such, but as soon as I felt it, I knew it contained polyester, which I detest, especially to sleep under. Trying to remain positive, I washed it and was determined to try it at least 1 night. Coming out of washer, was covered with gross little balls of broken polyester threads. During the night, woke up roasting under the non-breathable 30% (or so label reads) polyester, 70% cotton coverlet. Have given it to local shelter and will never deal with this company again.
