I purchased it to use as a plaid for the couch and it looks lovely. It's extremely soft, doesn't feel heavy, and I adore it, plus it has a stamp on it. I definitely recommend it. Regarding the color, I anticipated something more vibrant; I'm not sure why, considering the photo accurately depicts it. The thing is, the background color isn't a pure mustard, as it has gray mixed in, but it's still very attractive. I also received a small crochet scarf, about the size of my hand, which was a pleasant surprise and I appreciate the seller for including it.
