I purchased two of these to use on my sofa before listing our house. New furniture was not in the budget, so I bought these throws to dress up what we had. It elevated our tired sofa to something special that had a custom, designer feel. I used one to hang off the back, with the excess tucked into the front and under the cushions. The other, I used on the cushions themselves and then tucked the remainder under the cushions with the rest hanging in front, but off of the floor. 
The throws are comprised of high quality cotton. They have washed several times and don't seem to have shrunk much at all. And the tassels have not been that tangled, either.
I'll be seeking out Ibiza blankets again.
