Bought this robe without any idea of its texture or quality. Was particularly concerned that it might be thin and cheap. But was very happy to find that it is plush, soft, warm, and comfortable. Also, the color, which is always difficult to know accurately from a product photo, is very nice -- nicer than I had expected (I bought the dark blue with light blue trim). It is sufficiently long, but not too long, for a man 5'7". And it has sufficient girth to surround 200 lbs (the size is XL after all). Seems well made, but won't know for sure until, if ever, it falls apart.
