I would love to have given this blanket 5 stars, because it is beautiful, and I love the "deer" fur design and the size. But I was unhappy with the way it felt after washing it. I wash all clothing and bedding before use, and I was frustrated with how much effort I had to put it to get all of the faux fur soft and smooth again after washing it. I carefully followed the care instructions, cold water, tumbled it on low...but I ended up having to comb many "tangles" out after washing it that had become matte and rough feeling. Fortunately I won't have to wash it again for quite awhile, but I am concerned about it happening again.
