Love it! Extremely soft and a nice aqua color. The first time I turned it on it took 5 minutes to heat up and it didn't get very hot. I was really sad because I thought it was a dud. That night I put it on the bed and turned it on and when I got into bed a couple minutes later it was nice and hot. Totally perfect. Even better was that there are separate controls for my half of the blanket and my husband's half. I'm always cold and he's always hot so it works out nicely. I don't freeze and he doesn't have to sweat when I turn the blanket it on. This blanket is so much better than the one I am replacing!
