The throw arrived within 48hrs of placing my order so I was very pleased as it was a present for my daughter and I was able to hand it over immediately. It is very warm and large enough to be useful in various situations. I agree that there seems to be quite a lot of fluff shed by the throw to start with but hope that it will calm down over time. When ordering on the website it was good to have a choice of payment methods, so overall I am very satisfied.
