Lately, table linen purchases I've made through Amazon have been unexpectedly quality items. This table runner is one example.I ordered it thinking it would be a one-time use. When I opened it, the runner was gorgeous and appeared very well made.I used it for an Easter buffet table and people dropped food on it. I thought for sure it was ruined and came close to just tossing it. I'm so glad I didn't make that mistake. I pre-treated it, threw it in the washer on cold and hung it up dry.To my absolute surprise, the stains came out! It didn't shrink or become misshapen. One big perk it will only need a light pressing by an iron and if I get to lazy to iron, it will still look fairly crisp.The color is as shown and it's a beautiful shade of dusty rose. I'm so glad I took the chance and bought it.
