• "It is light enough that it’s not cumbersome but surprisingly warm!"
• "It’s very soft and light weight."

Cons:

• "This is the worse blanket ever. It lints all over you especially if you’re wearing a sweater or something like that."

Design and Aesthetics

Cons:

• "This is just for use on a screened porch, but it’s only been out of the package for about an hour and is already picked just from smoothing it out."
• "Ordered a grey throw, but it’s really more teal colored."
• "The fabric had a line of darker blue from top to bottom that was noticeable no matter what way I folded it."
• "The color is slightly brighter / more vibrant than the picture but it is otherwise as described."
