This Bed Skirt Does Not Have Open Splits At The Foot Board End. It Is Closed At The Corners. Fortunately, For Me My Quilt Covers The Bunched Up Corners. It Comes Out Of The Package Very Wrinkled And Was Tedious To Iron. The Color Listed As Cream Is More Beige Or Taupe Then Off White. It Works But Not Exactly What I Was Looking For.
