Right out of the box, I was very happy with the quality of the blanket. The blanket comes with a comforter and the weighted blanket itself. The weighted blanket has more a nylon feel and the duvet is made out of a plusher material with one of the sides are quilted and the other side is smooth. 
I did enjoy using the blanket, but I think one thing to notes is how hot these types of blanket can get. I'd say it would not be very comfortable during the summer due to the heat, but fantastic during fall and winter months. It could take the place of any heavier down comforter.
