I was delighted to receive this quality tablecloth. I'm only giving it 4 stars instead of 5 because the stitching was missing for only about 1/4 inch in one spot around the hem. I doubt any guest would ever notice this tiny flaw. It would be perfect for serving lunch at the cabin, or for a casual holiday themed table.  It is a deep, and I would say "true," red (i.e., not crimson or burgundy) with the traditional larger black buffalo checks. Very rustic.
