Despite how the picture looks, this seems to be one big elasticized loop with no opening. I haven't opened the package yet, but that's the way it's described on the labels. I bought two twin sized ones for my queen bed (queen was sold out), in hopes I could just hide the open/overlapped ends against the wall and behind furniture. I still plan on trying this, but it will take a bit more DIY hacking on my part to make it work. Regardless, it was a great price and exactly the color and look I wanted, so I'm still satisfied with what I got.
