Really nice sized heated throw for lounging on the couch or just for my side of the bed. Controls are easy to use and it heats up quickly. The cord is about 5 feet from the controller and it is long enough to reach the outlet. Very soft and the colored side has a bit of sheen. I ordered gray and it is gray but with a bluishaqua tint. My couch is a charcoal gray so it doesn’t really match. It is washable so that is a plus with pets in the house.
