I got this for my boyfriend, we got the 20 lb black/gray one since it is recommended to have the blankets be approx 10% of your body weight. It is heavy to me but he loves it. It looks very nice and is as expected. It seems well made. He said it felt like a giant hug. He highly recommends it and has already recommended it to others. He said he sleeps a lot better since getting it. I included a picture of the care instructions for information but I can't state how well it washes since we haven't washed it yet. We noticed no loose pieces in the packaging.
