I was looking for an easy to care for, no wrinkle, tablecloth. I loved the pattern of this one; and I read the reviews that talked about shrinkage, so I was sure to order a size that was 12+ inches longer than I needed to account for that. Whelp, that was not enough. After one use, I washed (and dried) it and it doesn't fit anymore. I get that those folks who are disciplined enough not to dry their table cloths are probably really happy with this; but it does not fit with my family's life style.  The worst part is I bought two because I have tables in the kitchen and the sunroom. Both are now worthless to me. :( Boo.
