Washed this item upon receipt per the instructions, I even let it air dry.  The fabric tore in multiple places.  Thankfully Wayfair credited my order in full.  I was able to sew the areas that ripped, and although it doesn't look as it did when I first received it, it's useable.  Definitely not a practical item.  If you have pets, kids or are planning on using for daily use I would not recommend this at all.  For a guest bedroom that is rarely used would be a more appropriate fit.  Additionally, this is a very hot comforter.  It's made from polyester and does NOT breathe.  So if you're under it prepare to sweat for the majority of the night. I wish I would have gotten a basic goosedown comforter with a removable cover that is easy to wash, durable and a more breathable fabric like cotton.
