I will say that this was so beautiful on my bed. The material is just a tad stiff but gets softer. When you get it out of the bag it has a very strong chemical smell. After washing the smell was faint so another wash was needed. I actually liked this without putting a blanket inside, it was the perfect weight. The one thing that I have an issue with is the design works just comes out of the blanket with the slightest pull.
