#1--The blanket arrived exactly when I was told it would.
I was so happy that it is a huge size(king) and fits perfectly.  It is so soft and we both are very pleased that it "stays" in place.  #2--I was so happy to finally find a "real" blanket as we do not like those fluffy, fleece ones on the market now.  Only complaint was that the care label is so small we needed a magnifying glass to make out the symbols, plus we don't speak or read French!!  However, we finally figured it out!!  For us, it's a 5 star plus!!
