Color is beautiful, the throw is so soft. A little bit delicate - it's a loose weave - but it is beautiful. A rowdy little dog or cat would ruin it in about 2 minutes or less, but it's just so pretty and so soft. Matches my couch, looks great, and the one chilly morning we had, it kept my feet nice and warm in spite of the loose, very open  weave. It's a great throw and is just amazingly soft. A small luxury for not a huge amount of money!
