I am always dubious of faux 'sherpa' fabrics which can look pretty cheap fairly quickly. But these (2) blankets are for a darker basement to help take the chill off couch-lounging nights; so I didn't need them to be showpieces (e.g. they are 'function' over 'form'.)  My niece fell in love with the soft texture and 'thin' design, and insisted on sleeping with it right out of the box. After mandating a 'first wash', they held up and still felt soft enough for her to grab it out of the dryer and run away... Only time will tell if the fabrics start to pill/ thin out/ shed, etc so I can't attest as to how long they will maintain their appeal...

Pros: Met expectations exactly. Hopefully a good value for what they are.
Cons: Only time will tell?
