I washed and dried the cloth as soon as it arrived and at the end it no longer had any creases from the packing folds.  The size was exactly right for my table.  The only problem was that the material is very thin and the dark colour of my table shines through it, making it look less white - especially the centre piece.  I would have preferred a thicker, heavier material.  The photo shown by Wayfair is very misleading.
