I was pleasantly surprissed! The color is richer than the picture shows. The quality is just as described and better once you get this. I thought it would be heavier and didn't want a throw that was too cumbersome or too heavy! This is just perfect. When thrown on furniture it very much compliments the bed or furniture. It makes the area look like something out of a magazine! It is perfect for summer when the A/C may be too chilly. It is both beautiful and functional! As for the "Chenille" I worried as having purchased in a dept. store Chenille it can shed. This THROW DOES NOT SHED!

This throw is definitely "Luxury Heavyweight Chenille." I was just about to curl up with a book when the UPS guy handed my new throw to me. I spent a large part of the afternoon underneath soft, thick burgundy chenille. It is now draped over the arm of my couch, looking like a picture in a home decor magazine. The beige stripe works beautifully in my living room with its carmel-colored area rug.

Purchased this throw in the gold color. Nice, oversized, heavyweight chenille. Love the stripe as it adds to the textural appeal and coordinates very well with either browns or burgundys. The gold is a true gold, but a nice rich hue that does not "shout" or overpower. The color lends a nice highlight to the room in a very tasteful way. Fringe is beautifully done. This is an extremely good purchase for the quality and size. Would highly recommend!

This throw is very nice. I have one from restoration hardware that cost more than 175.00. This is just like it, different pattern and not so darn heavy. Buy if, you will not be dissapointed.

The photo did not do this chenille throw justice. It is a muted gold which is what I was hoping for and the brown stripes really add a touch of luxury. It looks lovely on my sofa and I couldn't be happier with my purchase.

This throw is one of the nicest I have ever purchased. It is quite heavy and thick. The colors are rich and deep. The gold ones that I purchased were a bit darker than the picture. The darker stripes make it seem very high end. Very lovely--would buy again. Thick and cozy, well made, good finish work. These will last.

This throw is heavyweight as stated; good quality; has a silky sheen to it. The gold color is beautiful; the stripe is brown, but it picks up as dark red/ burgundy in my bedroom and matches well.

I would recommend this throw based on quality, weight and value for money. However, as mentioned in previous reviews, the color is NOT accurately represented in the photo. (I purchased the blue). The color is radically different (much darker) but it was such good value I used it elsewhere in my house.

this is a very nice and quite heavy throw; luxurious and expensive in feel. i bought the olive and burgundy (really bold, rich dark red, not purply at all) throws. note: there is complementing beige pinstripe throughout -- it does detract from base color. so if you have other light colors in the room, then this will be a great throw. the only reason i think someone would not like this throw is if they don't like heavy blankets. but otherwise -- if heavy is what you're looking for -- then congrats...this is the throw for you! it drapes over a couch decoratively and will stay put if you distribute its weight accordingly (because it IS heavy, so it will fall and pile up if you don't distribute it). it looks great on my rich, brown leather sofa. it is perfect for a cuddle or a nap. DON'T BE CHEAP and SPLURGE on this throw. :)

This is exactly what we were looking for. The weight and drape are substantial and the celery color is as shown on our computer. The beige/cream stripes look perfect with our new taupe sofa!

I purchased two of these (blue and green) throws, hoping they would be exactly the same as some that I purchased from a major retailer. In weight and feel, they are. But in colors, they are not. The stripes in these throws are definitely a yellowish gold--which I did not see in the picture online. They are great throws--heavy and soft material. I just didn't care for the colors.

Color was as shown on the website. The quality was excellent, and the feel is luxurious. The description was accurate. I like it so much I'm ordering another one for another room.

I would definitely purchase this again. After a couple of days in use my puppy "marked it" and it needed cleaning. It was marked Dry Clean Only, but I put it in my washer on the most delicate cycle and it came through just fine, smelling like a rose! It did just fine in the dryer on low as well.

I was very pleased with this throw. It was not cheaply made. Very heavy duty I would say. The color was excellent. Just the right blue I was looking for. I use it on the back of my sofa where the dogs lay. It is soft and looks like it will not unravel. My only concern is it is dry clean only. I usually wash my throws because of the dog hairs and smells etc. I am hoping that I can wash it in cold water on a gentle cycle. It would be too expensive to keep having it dry cleaned. Right now I can shake it out and vacuum it off. It fits in with my decor perfectly and looks really great on the back of my sofa. I am very pleased with it.

This was actually the second order I placed for these blankets. I ordered one in the celery and one in the gold. The colors are rich with a great silky sheen. The texture is soft and the blanket is very heavy and warm. The first order for these blankets was returned due to excessive flaws. Many threads were broken, and where those threads were broken, there were obvious holes which would easily grow over time and with use. It looks as though someone tried to repair some of the broken threads by hand knotting them back together again, which is just sloppy looking in a blanket that is selling for retail prices, not to mention uncomfortable when you're sitting on a great big knot. I received the replacements today and they also had similar problems (not as bad as the first set), but since I don't want to go through the exchange process again I'm just going to have them repaired myself. If it wasn't for the quality issue, these blankets would be perfect. Once repaired I know they will be great. I also want to say that customer service was exceptional through this whole ordeal and that I have never had a problem with quality on overstock.com before. This is obviously a recent manufacturing problem given that I purchased these blankets based on previous customer reviews which were all positive.

I bought the gold-colored throw and really liked the color and feel. I bought this throw because one reviewer mentioned how they washed theirs in a washing machine and all was fine. After all, who buys an everyday throw and dry cleans it frequently?!?!? I have washed mine about 5 times now and it will be the last time. The material of the throw was all over the washing machine and anywhere else it briskly touched during removal. I had to empty the dryer lint filter TWICE while drying it as both times it was absolutely FULL!! This throw does say dry-clean recommended and the manufacturer means it!! Great throw for decoration, but certainly not for everyday use for the buyer who plans on washing it themselves.

searched for an interesting and natural fabric throw and we love this. It is cotton and rayon and very soft. The blue color is the same as in the photo.

This throw is very heavy, warm, and soft. It is of good quality and the colors accent my family room decor perfectly. I am satified with this purchase, and would recommend it to others.

In the picture the blue blanket looks thick and luxurious, a nice dusty blue. However, it is actually a very green-blue, and there is a prounounced light colored yarn stripe between each ridge, like the fabric on an old '70s sofa. Also, the fringe is poor quality. The chenille yarns are just knotted and the fringe does not lay down, it looks crazy and ugly, like a fist-full of pipe cleaners. It seems soft and warm, but I was hoping to have this blanket out on the couch. I was hoping for $%% it would look somewhat attractive, however, I would be ashamed to have this out. If it was $$$ I might keep it as a spare blanket and hide it in the closet. But for $$$ I will be returning this UGLY '70s throw blanket.

The throw is good quality, very heavy but I dislike the bold dark brown stripe through it. It is just too wide and noticeable. Was looking for a gold throw but this just doesnt work because of the heavy stripe. Will be selling it on.
