This throw arrived simply packed and in perfect condition.I love this, it's a really nice throw.It arrived nicely presented with a bow, so is ideal for giving as a present.The dalmatian design is very well done, it's cute without being too twee, ideal for any age and is gender neutral.The edges are neat, the machine knitted design is smooth and even, and the overall quality is very good. It's backed with a soft fabric, presumably cotton to match the front.I haven't washed it yet but being cotton there's no reason to anticipate any problems.It's lightweight, enough to warm knees on a cool evening.I can't find fault with it, and am happy to recommend.Currently priced at £24.99Thanks for reading, I hope you find this review helpful.
