This is a wonderful throw. The material is so soft and luxurious.   The controller comes with multiple settings. The low setting provides a constant heat that is not overbearing in the high setting works extremely well when you’re very chilled and get you cozy and toasty fast. The color is a rich black, and the material is unbelievably soft and comforting.  I was shocked it did not shed hardly at all given that the texture of it is kind of long, which makes it extra soft. It was a bonus that it comes with a three year warranty, which I thought that was very fair.  I really enjoy using this to cuddle up on the couch and watch TV it’s oversize so it works really well for that.  I highly recommend the Serta throw to keep you warm and toasty this winter.  The fact that it’s a deep, rich, black, and very stylish is an extra bonus!
