The comforter arrived on time and seemed to be of decent quality (especially for the price!). The packing stated that the comforter must be washed before use, so I followed all instructions exactly and used an extra large commercial washer and dryer, but it came out with a bunch of frayed threads all along the edges... It doesn't look new after washing because of the fraying. To say the least, I'm a bit disappointed. This blanket's weight and warmth are nice for the price. Not too warm. I don't know that I'd recommend it...If I knew this was going to happen, I would have spent a little more on a different, high quality comforter.
