The throw is a very good quality and I've hung it over the banister in my living room where it looks beautiful. I didn't give it 5 stars because, believe it or not, the thing is unbelievably heavy. My purpose was to drape it over the sofa and cover up with it on chilly nights, but it's a little heavy for my purposes. As other reviews noted, it is beautiful draped on a piece of furniture or a bed.
