The throw is very pretty. The picture with the tag was taken  before washing. I machine washed and dried it and it came out looking just like it did before washing and drying it.  The fringe did not knot up or fall out. The threads  that make up the design didn't pull either. It appears to be sturdy.
I am concerned with the "miscellaneous fiber" that is 10% of the throw. I have lots of allergies and hope it doesn't contain anything that might cause an allergic reaction.
