This is a beautiful table cloth.  Hopefully from my pictures, you can see that it is a high quality material, and the hem is nicely done, not just sewn on the edge, but a real hem.  I love the way it glows when the light hits it just right.  So far I have not washed it, and I may wash it alone since I bought the cranberry color and I don't know how much it will bleed.  In the right light it is more of a dark red than cranberry as shown in the picture?  I am very happy with this item and can highly recommend it.  Perfect for a classy Christmas dinner.
