Quality and Durability

Pros:

• "Comforter washed & dried well with no issues."
• "The quality of this product for me is fantastic. It's soft, it's very warm, and I sleep like a baby with it."
• "Very large. Usually king size isn’t big enough but this is. Very soft."
• "I wash it using a cold water cycle, then put it in the dryer using no heat. Comes out perfect every time."
• "It cleans easily and if you use wool dryer balls, the filling won't clump."
• "First of all it’s very warm pretty and I waited for a sale on this. Now my pink one has been washed 50 plus times and not a single stitch is out nor is the fluff inside moved."
• "So far, has survived the big washing machine at the laundromat and came out still very soft and fluffy about a year after I bought it."

Cons:

• "The threads came loose and now there are big holes in it everywhere from my cats just existing on the bed."
• "So far so good. After seeing some comments and pictures of torn fabric, I was scared because I had already ordered it. When it came, it was a great shape!! It’s nice and soft."
• "unfortunately this has holes in it after one wash...i did not put in dryer since i thought it might fall apart."
• "After the first wash, I had at least 2 of these strings come out."
• "It literally looks like Edward Scissor hands has took his claws to my blanket never has been washed."
• "Additionally, I've only had it for about a month, and it's coming apart."
• "This blanket will need to be dry cleaned upon arrival since washing it will destroy the material."
