Have had this about 9 months. It's my only comforter so it doesn't get rotated or anything. My 70lb dog sleeps on top of it every night. It's survived spills, dog fur and dog nails, and several washes. Not a single thread out of place, color hasn't bled or faded at all. It's a good weight and not too hot. VERY pretty. The tassles came out of the small blue throw but my kids pull on them constantly.
