The size of the blanket is perfect for me and the color is close to true from the picture on my computer monitor.  It washes and dries up nicely, albeit wrinkles in the dryer if not promptly removed - though that doesn't bother me, it gets wadded up when I sleep anyway!  The rope stripe pattern is a nice design; it does snag easily especially with pets so that's something to be aware of when considering this blanket.  All in all, I'm please with my purchase.
