Our first Wayfair purchase, and we wanted so much to like it. The placemats were gorgeous coming out of the box, but after one wash, they are merely okay. I babied them more than a placemat should have to be babied--cold water wash, short turn in a low-heat dryer, air-dry finish. They shrunk more than two inches in width, and the corners curl up, even after taking them out of the dryer damp. We'll use them, but are disappointed
