I washed this as soon as received, and it was absolutely covered in lint when it came out of the washing machine. I wonder if it wasn’t pre-washed Luckily most of the lint came off in the dryer, but after dryer it had pilled (piled) like crazy!!! I washed and dried it exactly as per instructions. Also, since wash and dry it’s become more “wrinkled” sort of, so it looks well-worn now instead of brand new. I’m disappointed for the price that this product wasn’t better quality. I bought my son a different quilt from Wayfair at the same time, and his held up perfectly through washing and drying. I wouldn’t recommend this quilt.
