This throw appears very soft and luxurious, but after having it for less than 2 months it is coming apart. I have used it as a lap cover on the sofa, nothing more.  It has not even been washed yet and and clumps of the soft material are falling out. I am concerned that If it is ever washed, it will damage the washing machine with all of its shedding and/or there would be nothing left. Very disappointing. Very poor quality materials.
