Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Update - July 23, 2016: *Sigh*. It has happened again. I purchased a "moderate" quality item that is serviceable, because of the relatively LOW PRICE. And then, when I post a 5 star review, the price shoots up to something SO UNREASONABLE that I can no longer recommend it. Folks, I paid $14.99 for this Throw Blanket. The quality is decidedly MEDIOCRE, but it does the job and at $14.99 it was a bargain. However, now I see that the price has SKYROCKETED to $45.00. My 5 star review stands, only because YOU CAN STILL GET THIS AT $14.99 IF YOU CONTINUE TO LOOK. But please, please do not pay $45.00 for this. it is a cheap piece of microfiber that is soft and warm, but for $45.00 you can get something really special. You really have to be careful on Amazon, because prices fluctuate wildly. So. 5 stars for the low, low price of $14.99. 1 star for the exorbitant price of $45.00. Now, read my ORIGINAL REVIEW below: ORIGINAL REVIEW: I purchased two of these in burgundy and they are beautiful! I'm so pleased with the rich color, generous size, and soft, warm texture. I didn't want to spend a lot of money on this and so the fact that they are not knitted and there is no fringe was something I was willing to accept. They were about half the price of the higher end throws, and I went ahead and ordered them and hoped for the best. I was so pleased when they came because even though they don't have high-end touches, they are beautiful, warm and exactly as pictured in the ad. The bonus is that even though they are very reasonably priced, they are significantly larger than the higher end knitted throws with fringe. So no cold spots where the blanket doesn't quite cover everything! :-D If you want something to curl up in while drinking your tea and reading your favorite book but you don't want to spend a lot of money, you have found a warm, attractive alternative that isn't high end but still good quality and and does the job beautifully!
