22 years of use and still good conditionMy daughter-in-law bought this for me 21 years ago for a Christmas present. It had all my grandchildren's names on it, saying "Grandma Gang". The most wonderful gift. Now to the good part, I have washed this throw and dried it in the dryer more times than you can imagine, my grandchildren loved to use it because their names were on it. It is still in great condition and now it is being used for my 2.5 yr old great grandson, that I babysit while my grandaughter works. He loves it because his mommy's name is on it and he says it's his and mommys. It is light weight, but durable.
