This blanket is beautiful. I ordered the taupe it's a little more to the gold side but I really like it. The weight of the blanket is perfect for summer not much heavier than a sheet. The problem is they smell awful when they arrived and they're full of dust. This is not an item you can open and use directly. You must wash this to get the dust and the smell out. If not for the smell  I would have given 5 stars. As a follow up... I love it now. Washed and dried beautifully smell gone.
