Room×Lab Review · Review updated September 29, 2026

Owners across Girard colorways praise the color and warmth; none clearly names Olive/Pink Checker, and two wish it were longer

Room×Lab read 45 distinct written reviews on DWR's Girard Throw page, from 2014 to September 2026, all rated 3 to 5 stars (average 4.84); the page also shows a separate 3.6 out of 5 label. About half first appeared on Herman Miller's store. Several texts repeat two to four times under the same or different names, so fewer people wrote them; one reviewer is flagged as staff, one is a former Herman Miller executive's recollection and one only plans a gift. Owners name Teal/Aqua, Orange/Fuchsia, Black/White, taupe, "Braniff blue" and neutral patterns; none clearly names Olive/Pink Checker. Most reviews are one or two sentences, several describe gifts, and few say how long the owner has had the throw. The reviews below show the most detailed praise, both length complaints and the only 3-star review.

Room×Lab rating: Rated on owner experience, fit & function and value (limited confidence). Owners consistently praise the Girard Throw's vivid colors, warmth and softness, though none clearly names Olive/Pink Checker; its 45 DWR reviews average 4.84 stars. The caveats: no owner reports how it holds up over years or through dry cleaning, and two reviewers wish it were longer.

  • Colors and pattern are the main draw: 24 favorable and 0 critical mentions of the colors, pattern and overall look. — Owners mention teal/aqua, orange/fuchsia, Braniff blue, black/white, taupe and neutral-pattern versions, and say it suits their sofas, decor and mid-century pieces. None clearly names Olive/Pink Checker, Brown Check or Multi Stripe. Several texts repeat under the same or different names, so fewer separate people said this.
  • Warm for chilly rooms without feeling heavy: 13 favorable and 0 critical mentions of warmth for chilly rooms, nights and naps. — Owners use it in a cold basement room, on chilly nights and for couch naps. Two call the weight moderate or just right, while one calls it extra thick. One says it is warm without the smothering feel of many synthetic throws. These are impressions, not measurements.
  • Two reviewers wish it were a bit longer: 1 favorable and 3 critical mentions of length; two of the critical texts are near-identical. — A 4-star verified buyer's only complaint is that it could be a bit longer. Another reviewer, who appears to have posted twice, uses it for their Yorkie and says it would need to be about 10% larger for them to use it themselves at over 6 ft. A gift buyer finds it just the right size for couch naps.

Before buying

Owners across Girard colorways praise its warmth, softness and color; none clearly names Olive/Pink Checker, so judge it from DWR's photos. Plan on dry cleaning; if you're over 6 ft, it may feel short. No owner reports how it wears over years.
