The tag is faded, but I've only washed it twice, so I think it's designed to fade easily. I've only taken photos with it on top of things a few times. The front is boa, so it looks a bit like it has pills, but this was the case from new, due to the material. I haven't used it as bedding, but perhaps because of the material, it easily attracts other fabrics. I stored it with my everyday nap blanket, a blanket, and a towel, so it feels like it has more wear than it actually does. The back is like knit, and there are areas that look uneven or like stains, but this was also the case when I bought it new, not from use. Size: Approximately 100 x 144
