i never spend 30 on a blanket but something about this one (king size) seemed perfect. Well when it came I thought wow, that is really light..will it be warm? I probably would not use it alone as a blanket because it is thin, but I have it over a comforter and live in a cold house. Again, not especially warming but the look is great. It is very elegant and looks much more luxurious than it actually is. I feel conflicted having spent way more than my usually 15 at a thrift shop for brand name quality, yet somehow this one hits the mark
