I've never had or tried one of these lightweight down blankets but from my inspection it seems to be very well made and sturdy.   The material is soft and I love the satin border and its squares are a perfect size.  My husband just recently said that we might need and extra blanket this winter.  I had originally planned on using it when temperatures warmed up but its perfect as a little extra for warmth.  One can never go wrong with feather and down.
