Tricky. I should’ve read better lol. I wanted it for a beach throw. It’s SOOOO thin. Very light, won’t stay in one spot and it’s a lot smaller than it looks in the pictures, again, my fault for not reading the descriptions.

Once again I looked at the overall rating of this item and thought it was good to go. But now that I have my tablecloth protector on the table it’s clear I should have looked over the one star reviews because I now see why people are so unhappy with this item.

I changed my review after the seller contacted me asking me to write an honest review. Which I find interesting because my first review was from my experience not based on the reviews. My honest opinion is that this product is not oil-proof or spill-proof. After one use for a party a couple of drops of chicken juice dripped on the table cloth.

What a disaster. I thought this table cloth was lovely. I ordered the 60x86in size. when it arrived I noticed that it didn’t quite cover the sides of my table. As I was adjusting it, I realized that the center pattern was actually not in the center. WTH???
I took it off the table and laid it flat on the floor.

The color and size was perfect! It was wrinkled the iron could not smooth it out. So I followed the washing and drying directions. I spent 30 minutes trying to smooth the wrinkles out. Now mind you I ran a Bed and Breakfast for nine years. I know how to handle tableclothes. I want a wrinkle free tablecloth and this is not the one for me!

I purchased this because I wanted the grassy look (with a slight feel) for a party. However, when I received the item it’s just a plastic table cloth with grass painted on it. Not at all what it looks like in the picture and not what I wanted. I have no idea what I’m going to do with this thing but it’s not what I wanted.

was excited the add said machine wash.But no the tag says hand wash, lay flat to dry, no bleach, no dry clean, no iron (it came folded up and I cant iron the folds out). the fabric is very thin you can put news paper under and almost read it (I tried and I can see photos and large print but cant quite make it out).

Not cotton as listed. Only measures 56 inches across, not 70 inches as listed. I bought it to use as a table cover, but it will not fit and is way too lightweight for much of anything. It is thinner than a dress lining and not as bright as in the photo. I would return it, but I’m quite sure the return fee would be more than I paid for it.

Very disappointed with this order. The product received was not as it was described. It isn’t heavyweight NOR was it Benson Mills brand! It was a generic plastic package. I think the outside plastic packaging was about the same thickness. However it did have the finished edge.
Would not recommend.

This table skirt is 30" deep and most 4 foot tables are 24" deep front to back. It is 4 foot wide and 29" high. The fold wrinkles seem to stay in it. If you are looking for a good table skirt, Ultimate Support makes them in black and white for 4, 5,6, and 8’ tables. The 4’ ones are 24" deep and the 5’,6’ and 8’ are 30" deep.

We got this to protect our new maple table from our toddler’s cutlery. We had it on for a few weeks. I lifted the protector to clean some debris around the edges, and it seems to have damaged the stain on the table. There are strips of the table now where the finish is duller, as if contact with the protector partially lifted the stain.

I ordered this product to protect my new dining room table, which I bought without considering how easily the wood surface would get scratched. The table cover is thick plastic and seemed as though it would provide great protection. At first, it seemed to work fine.

I passed on a grass tablecover at Party City that looked way better than this, and cheap. I saw that one, then checked here on Amazon and found what looks like imitation Grass on their picture. I bought it thinking about some other uses after my kid’s birthday.

WORST PRODUCT EVER from Amazon.com. This is a crappy, cheap and thin piece of rayon crap sold as a "Indian Mandala Round Roundie Beach Throw Tapestry Hippy Boho Gypsy Cotton Tablecloth Beach Towel , Round Yoga Mat." This is NOT a towel or beach throw or yoga towel. It’s a thin piece of cheap cheap material.

These shed lint and fibers like crazy!! I had to scoop huge chunks out of the washing machine. Another reviewer claimed they damaged her machine, but that didn’t happen to me. And then in the dryer I stopped it periodically to clear the lint filter and had to scoop big chunks from the filter a couple times before done drying.

Wanted no-iron polyester. Got that. But for god’s sake don’t wipe your face on them because the grease turns to indelible black stains. Served spaghetti and meatballs. Four guests. Minor lip wipes. Every. Single. Napkin. Came out of the wash with blackened stains. No other items in wash suffered same fate so don’t blame anything in the wash.

While I enjoyed the color and the pattern, the pattern is printed onto the fabric unevenly and the ends were angled by several inches. I wish I had know this before washing the tablecloth before use. Since I’m a seamstress, I was able to take out the hem, even the ends, and re-hem.

This is so cheap looking. It resembles a shower curtain and the material sticks together. I’m going to return this tablecloth and advise not to purchase

The linen is material attractive, both in texture and color (I ordered the sage). The sage is quite light - much lighter than the photo shows - although that was not a problem for me. The problems with the product as I see them are twofold.
1. The tags sewn in to the back seam of the items cannot be easily removed.

I have been buying these fitted table cloths for my kitchen table because they are easy to clean and stay in place. This the first purchase I have been so disappointed in I don’t know if has been sitting around awhile but after a week there were small nicks in the material as if someone was piercing it with a knife.
