These are really pretty nice. The color was a bit more oatmeal in person, but it still looks good. A nice, neutral color that doesn't distract from the garden ambiance. They were very creased when they came out of the package. Haven't tried washing them yet but I'm hoping that helps. The one drawback is that they are fairly lightweight and not weighted, so they blow quite severely in the wind. We are going to attempt to sew weights in the bottom to combat this.
