I was so excited when I received this heated throw, it's smaller in size than I imagined, I really don't care for the thickness of the fabric because you can feel the wires. The sherpa was shedding all over and it seems like a magnet for lint.  It took a while for you to really feel the heat, I had to set it to 5.  Also not sure how well it will hold up after washing because of the interior wires, guess time will tell.
