This is my first experience with a weighted blanket, so I do not have a frame of reference, but overall this seems like a great product that I will enjoy having.  It seemed quite heavy as a bundle, but spread out over me the weight felt super cozy. The microfiber is soft and comfortable, and the construction/stitching feels solid.  It feels a bit warm for use now (I received it in the summer), but I can tell that in cooler weather this will feel great and become a favorite. Great size for one person if sleeping or could work for two people if used as a "throw" blanket.
