I purchased this for a stationary massage table.  I was looking for something that would cover the entire bed and drape enough to cover the sides without hitting the floor and the dimensions on this worked.  I washed it according to the label directions and it did shrink despite the cold wash and low tumble drying.  It is still a great size for my needs and the color and texture are very nice.  It is more of a bedspread weight and stiffness than an actual blanket.  If you're looking for a snuggle blanket you may want to find something less stiff with a bit more heft.  This spread works well for my purposes and the color and texture are as shown in the photo.
