Very heavy and nice quality throw, though it is smaller than I expected.  It shipped and arrived fairly quickly, which was appreciated!  There is a slight smell that I was hoping would dissipate after airing out, but as of now, a few days later that smell remains.  It’s a “spot clean only” type of fabric as well and sheds a tiny bit of lint, but it’s nothing excessive.  I’ll probably leave this as more of a decorative item and not use it due to the size, smell and being unable to wash completely.  I’m afraid it was shrivel up even smaller after washing.
