This piece is perfect and the price makes it even better! I know that other reviewers have said that the black has a blue undertone to it, I don't see that probably due in part to where I have it in the house and the light that hits it. But I will say that if you are looking for a true "Black and White Gingham" then this is not it. This is more of an Ivory/Cream and black gingham...I love it!
