SO DISAPPOINTED IN THIS TREE SKIRT, THE BURLAP WILL NOT LAY FLAT....IT HAS NO CARE INSTRUCTIONS ON IT, LIKE WASHING, DRYING, IRONING, ETC.  IT'S ROUGH & STIFF AS A BOARD.   THIS IS NOT A GOOD MATERIAL TO USE FOR A TREE SKIRT ESPECIALLY WHEN U HAVE WEE LITTLE ONES AROUND THE TREE SITTING, IT FEELS LIKE SANDPAPER.  I GUESS I COULD ALWAYS USE IT AS AN EXFOLLIATOR FOR MY SKIN....
