My youngest son loves all things gray and black right now so this fits perfectly in his room decor. He likes that it's reversible and soft. The only problem he has, he has to fight his pup for the blanket because they both like it so much. So it's a good thing that it's been treated with Scotchguard! The diamond-patterned stitching is really well done, with no snags, loose threads, or anything. He likes that there is a darker gray with the light gray which are both high-quality fabrics that he's sure to enjoy with his pup for quite a while.
