I bought this as a gift for my mother. This was actually the least expensive item I bought her, but the blanket is hands down her favorite. I removed one star because I had bought one for myself last year, and it stopped warming up by the time winter was over and it got really dirty even after I just used it on the couch. BUT, when I consider that it was being used pretty much 24-7 for the whole course of an Alaskan winter... it's not that bad. Especially not for the price, where I find most high-quality blankets cost at least $100. I really like this product! :)
