I have had this blanket 3 years and no tears have come and the softness of this blanket never goes away. I bought this item at the broadway show.
I was tempted to buy this blanket when I saw it looked like the flying carpet, but then I had to buy it when I felt how amazingly soft it was. I'm very happy I did! You can't go wrong with this blanket! I just need to figure out how to make it fly now...
