Overall, it's pretty nice. Softer than the burlap you may remember from the sack races as a kid. The white part does show a bit, but nothing  a little clever tucking probably can't fix. I didn't see care instructions, so I'm afraid to wash it, as i don't want it to shrink- it's 100% cotton, after all. It's true to color on all of the computer monitors I've seen it on, it was a good price, and arrived quickly. I'd recommend it to a friend.
