I received a great microfiber down throw blanket as a gift about 5 years ago and I wanted to find one in navy for my son's room. When I started looking for them in stores, I realized that their availability has significantly diminished over the years. Therefore, I was excited when I saw this on Overstock. I was less excited when it arrived. It was really stiff and tons of feathers were coming out. I washed it, and it softened up a lot, and fewer feathers were coming out. It was OK for a few days, but then more and more feathers were coming out, and they are quite pokey sometimes. Overall, this is not a great quality throw and, if I had a different option, I would not select this one.
I can't complain about the price... oh wait, yes I can. The blanket stinks. Literally. You know that wet dog smell? Yeah. That is what describes this blanket. Even after a washing and a judicious use of a spray that rhymes with fevreeze, the thing still smells like a wet dog (and I don't even own a dog). The blanket is also small... I'm 5'10" and the thing can only cover me from my feet to my mid-back. If you are looking for a throw blanket, there are other ones out there for a decent (by decent, I mean low) price that are far nicer (and larger).
Had one throw from Overstock that I bought a few months back that is super! I needed 2 more for a new sectional we bought. We have a dog who loves sleeping on the sofa. These 2 new ones I bought were only slightly different from my original purchase, or so I thought. The down is constantly coming through the cover and sticking whoever sits on it. It also is coming throught the cover and sticking all over the couch. If you are using it as a cover only, or for show ,then it is a good buy. If you plan on sitting on it, I would think twice about down.
This was nice when I got it - though a lot shorter than I expected, but it has lost some of its fluff over the last few months.
Nice throw for the money. Was not very fluffy until I washed it. Take note previous & future buyers - Wash it! I would recommend this. Very Nice Throw After you wash it.
This is a great product and an amazing value for the price. It's a great size and weight to snuggle under on the couch or keep me extra warm at night. I'd recommend it to anyone!
this is a so so blanket - I am 5'0 tall, and I found it short.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? I bought tan and that's what I got
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. starting coming apart at the seams
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? It's warm
i like this throw, the thickness, the fabric, however, its very small. i gave it to my dog to use on top of her dog bed. she gets cold and we cover her up sometimes. if it was bigger, i would have used it for us. too small
Light weight but warm throw, laundries beautifully. Everyone who uses the throw that visits wants to know where to order one, This is my 2nd throw, the first one purchased 4 years ago, I had to have more!
I loved this throw on sight and when it was simply hung over the back of my futon... but when I actually began to use it... its feathers come out - all over the blanket and get stuck in EVERYTHING... from my clothes, to my futon cover, to my rug... etc.... when it first began I overlooked it and brush them away but then it was more and more... meanwhile I never even washed it. I bought mine in the fall and just threw it out last week - I had too, it was unbelievable. And I never write reviews but I figured I should warn the next person.
Bought two to replace ones from Woolrich that we loved. These are much shorter and they started shedding feathers about the second week. I may try making a cover for them to contain the shedding but would NOT buy again. My dog loves it.
this down throw is losing its feathers as fast as can be. i dont reccommened.
Love the microfiber; always so soft and cuddly. We use these all winter and wanted another down coverlet. Very happy with the throw. Bought the dark green and was as expected. Would recommend, especially for the price!
Bought these blankets as a gift. When they arrived, all twelve were stuffed into the same box. They were covered in lint of all sorts (strings, feathers and fuzz). They were also very wrinkled. Had I more time, i would have definately returned these because they were an embarrassment to give as gifts. Also, they were void of any lables or packaging. This made them look even worse! Had they been wrapped or had a lable of some sort they would have looked much better. I'm sure that the recipiants of these gifts may have even though they were second-hand....wrinkled, covered in lint (which i removed to the best of my ablility) and without lables or tags. I was amazed that these were shipped to me in the condition that they were in. My advice would be to spend a few more dollars and go to a department store where you are able to see the product before buying it. I guess it's my own fault for shopping at overstock again, as i have been dissapointed with their products and service in the past. Aside from the condition in which they arrived, the overall quality of the blankets was sub-par. Awful fabric and looked cheap. Overstock says the list price is $44.99. I expected to get blanket that resembled a blanket that would have cost $44.99. This was definately not the case.
I thought the down throws were by woolrich. The throws are of an unknown manufacture and are not of the same quality that I was expecting.
Bought this throw for my husband for Christmas to replace his old one. This throw is warm although it is a bit smaller in size and does not cover his feet, so now I use it. Threw it in the dryer to fluff it up a bit. Would give it 5 stars if it wasn't for being smaller than thought. Good throw for the price.
I purchased this item for a Christmas present. I have bought the same kind of throw in the past but this one seemed to be a little better quality. They loved it and I was happy.
Not only is this throw a great bargain, it's very well made and so very light. I'm using this as an insert for a child's duvet. It's been washed and fluff dried and is as soft as can be.
Great product and the price you can't beat it! too bad you don't have anymore in stock, would love to buy more for my kids.
I had been looking for a down throw that was real feathers, not "down alternative", and that did not cost me a ton of money. This fit what I wanted perfectly and I am so happy with this purchase. Perfect size for snuggling on the couch and so warm and cozy! Love it!
