I've had this for almost a year now.  I have a big dog (mastiff)  who likes to be up on the bed - so this gets washed a lot.   It comes out of the dryer just great and gets softer with each wash.  It does have one rip in it - but that is from the big dog going a little crazy one day jumping on and off the bed.  The color (orange) is pretty and has not faded with washing.  A very good product.
