This is an absolutely wonderful blanket! It has a great weight to it￼, and can be used year round. There are no holes in it anywhere and it is not see-through. It lays over the edges of the bed nicely so no one is fighting for the blanket. The white is a bright white. It came in a zipped bag and I was surprised when I opened it up they were no odors like plastic or anything noted on the blanket. I washed it before placing it on the bed not that it needed it but just because that’s what I do. There was no shrinking or tearing from the washer and dryer. Very happy with this purchase and will buy another for my other rooms.￼￼￼￼￼
