I received my throw about 2 weeks ago. I was a little skeptical at first because I wasn't crazy about the fur color. It almost has the appearance of a dead animal. However, after using it I love it. My kids and I fight over it all the time. The fur side is soft and not scratchy like it looks. The underside is very smooth and is so comforting. This throw is heavy and very warm. I would definitely recommend this throw and woyld get another but in a different color perhaps something solid. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
