I was looking for a tablecloth that will not be pure cotton or linen because it is for everyday use and I wanted very easy maintenance something that will LOOK like cotton without being actual cotton. It is perfect.The color - pristine white, looks perfect and make it for clean crisp look of the table and makes everything that is on it looking perfect.Looks - elegant, sophisticated. The hem that I was fearing people were concerned about is perfect. I love the way it is finished to perfection. It also promises never run or get undone.Feel - it feels like very heavy sail cloth cotton/linen almost but not as hard of course, it feels simply like a heavy table cloth material. I wanted to avoid at all cost a cheap think fabric that you can see the color of the table or in my case the mosaic top of my little round table I got it for. It completely and perfectly evenly covers the top of my table and it feels like a flat beautiful top.I am very happy with it. It came folded and to remove folds I did not have to worry about ironing. I use my old table cloth to perfect look trick. I simply take my folded tablecloths, spread on the table and I take a sprayer with water or ironing starch and spray it evenly, let sit for few mintes, then I manually streach it and flatten with my palm of my hand and I can repeat it few times if needed be and it is prefec with ZERO crises. Ideal.I am very happy. This is for my little morning teas and fancy weekly tee with my friends who drop by for a slice of cake and a coffee or a tea on fancy china. It is just fabulous.If you are looking for a table cloth that will feel like cotton, this is not it. When you touch it you feel it is polyester. But for me it is what I needed. I don't care for cotton for this table as for frequent use and wash and removing any greesy spots if any and frequent washing that I plan to then I know cotton would wear out very quickly and look shabby after x many washes. This will never get tired of washing. I think this is way to go for me and I love it.I have tons of cotton and linen clothes for my special occasions and I know everything there is to know about quality and high end fancy tablecloths and this was my choice for work horse table cloth that I can use very often, wash often and feels great and looks fabulous.
