Upon opening this robe from the package, I was pleased with it. It was really soft and plush, but it was shedding some lint. I threw it in the washer and dryer and it just got worse. I've now washed/dried it about 10 times, and it's horrible. there are little black lint balls all over the house. I'm glad I didn't pay that much money for it, because it went right in the garbage. Who has time to wash a robe that many times? And I certainly don't want a robe that I cant wash. This robe was junk.
