UPDATE: so I am back to update about how it washes. Washes great stitching held up nicely with washing it on light. It DOES state machine washable which was definitely on my list of why I chose this blanket.. BUT once you get the blanket and washing info it says no drying and to hang dry. Which over the summer was fine but now I am in a hard spot trying to find a big enough space to hang dry it in my house.. it doesn't hold alot of water after being washed so I will put it on spin a few times before attempting to hang it.. I have put it in the dryer after it was dry just to fluffy up and soften but do NOT use fabric softener sheets.. where ever it touches it will leave a mark. All in all I still love the blanket.. but another thing I will note is that I have a California king and ordered California kind and wish it was a little larger to hang over the side of my bed more. If your going for that as well I would order a size larger.I got the rust orange one and it's more like a redish rust. I Was definitely wanting the rust orange it shows (someone posted a pic of the color and it showed brighter orange soni figured it's perfect bc between both the info pic and a review pick showed close enough to what I was looking for) it however is an amazing blanket. Some people say a summer blanket but.. its summer and I blast my house AC and this blanket is VERY warm lol very light and comfy and soft but definitely is warm and I would still use it in the winter. All and all I love this blanket and hope it washes good for the first time. (4 stars u til I see how the stitching and first wash goes)My last comforter was a Ralph Lauren from 2012. It lasted three floods, two locust plagues and the Black Death. It was time for a new fluffy comforter. This one is definitely not Ralph Lauren quality but I am happy with my purchase for how much it cost. I took it out of the shrink wrap and threw it directly in the dryer and it fluffed up pretty nice. It’s soft and I can use it without bedsheets- which is what my big selling point was. The colors are gorgeous. Forest, sage, gold, blues, reds, maroon. If you like wildflowers and sage this is perfect for you.Update: I’ve been sleeping with it for a month and it’s fluffy and perfect! I take it back that it’s not Ralph Lauren quality because it’s pretty darn close. 10/10 recommendIt is extremely soft and I have washed it twice now. My only concern is that I never dry it, I always hang it over my shower because I am worried about the cotton sheet insert getting ruined. There was some initial shedding after first wash but I haven't seen it since. It was a very affordable piece so I'm treating it very gently as to not ruin it's quality.Its also great at repelling dog hair. I can usually just wipe the dog hair off with my hand if I catch one of my dogs on the bed.Everything was good except one of my pillow cases had black marks on it.Update: The black marks came off when I scratched them with my finger. Not sure what was on them or what happened but I am really happy it was easy to get off. The comforter is really warm and may be too heavy for summer but it’s perfect for winter! I think it looks super good in my room with the pops of yellow.Wish I had found this sooner, but so glad I found it now! Love the color, and the customer service they provide is unmatched!! Will definitely buy again when we furnish our guest bedroom!We are never going to purchase another comforter other than this one!The only thing i would say is i wish it came with bed sheets as well. only comes with blanket and pillow cases!This comforter was everything! Love how fluffy and soft it is!Comme elle est livré emballé sous vide, la douillette ne semblait pas très épaisse mais après un petit tour dans la sécheuse à basse température elle a reprise son volume. Épaisse et très douce je suis très satisfaite de mon achat. Et que dire de la couleur! Formidable! Je recommande.Comforter and pillow cases came exactly as shown. They’re both quite soft and the comforter is pretty fluffy. It’s all vacuum sealed and there was no odor at all when opened. Showed up earlier than expected despite a blizzard. Thanks!Nice comforter . Very soft . True to colour ( we got the emerald) definitely better than i thought it would beVery surprised found the comforter to be better than expected.This comforter is so SOFT and cozy. I just love it! Would highly recommend.
