For reference, the colors in my photo are off because of my camera, it made it look more dark/saturated, it's more of a dusty pink/rose color in real life, more like their picture. I just don't want anyone to think it's actually that much darker than the picture. So, I basically only have one thing in the "cons" column for this blanket, so I'll get that out of the way. It's far too expensive for my budget, and the material isn't really that different from blankets you can get for $20-30 for a twin size (which is what I got) - so this price is a bit of a negative point for me. BUT, I'd still say it was worth it. It was the **only** blanket I could find literally anywhere (in stores or online, for that matter) that had a pattern like I wanted. I wanted something for my 1 1/2 year old daughter's camping/woods themed room. Unfortunately, all the cute kid's camping-themed stuff is all boy-ish looking, and I wanted it to look like a girl's room. And I wanted it to be like, a cabin type of look to the blanket. This was *PERFECT.* It has some pink, but it doesn't look childish, it looks more sophisticated, for lack of a better word, and it also has the buffalo-check sort of pattern as well, which is what I wanted. But a just pink and white plaid looks like a tablecloth or picnic blanket - definitely didn't fit the theme. So I was super excited when I found this. And I was worried it wouldn't be as good in person, but it really was. It didn't disappoint me. Best of all - it's VERY soft. I didn't want a comforter for a toddler, because it's just not practical, especially in Florida - it's just too hot to sleep under something like that. And this blanket, despite being pretty lightweight is still quite warm and cozy. For my taste it's perfect because it's warm enough, but won't roast you to death either. And for reference, the color of the pink isn't accurate in my photo here - my phone camera oversaturated it, so it's not that deep/reddish of a shade of pink. It's pretty close to their picture, but a little bit more of a typical light pink (it looks almost like a dusty purple in their picture, so it's not exactly the same.) But that slight color difference worked out well for me because the sheets I ordered were a totally different color when they got here than they were on the screen, but ended up matching the blanket almost perfectly. And this blanket completely makes her room, it pulled it all together. It was okay before that, but with this added, it just looks so warm, cozy, and cabin-like, and now I'm legitimately jealous of my toddler's bedroom ???? I can't tell you anything about how it holds up in the wash, but it *seems* like it'll be fine. I probably would run it on a gentler cycle just in case, so I don't trash something I spent this much on. But yeah, overall, amazing. I'd give it 10 stars if I could. It hurt my wallet a bit, but it was so, so worth it.
