I am always wary of buying fabric items online because I really want to see it and feel it.  This tablecloth surpassed my expectations.  First of all the color is perfect for my space, the weight and texture reflect a really nice quality, and the lovely hemstitch above the hem is better than the picture shows.  The openings (holes) in that are nice and wide so you get to see the decorative treatment from anywhere in the room.  This was my first purchase from birchlane and I am so happy with it.  I would certainly recommend this item and now my sister hopes to buy the same one.
