This is the only thing so far I've purchased from Wayfair that I felt was truly a fail. They looked alright, but the fringe was kind of absurdly long in my opinion, and the very first time I washed them they were basically ruined. They pilled up like crazy and just looked so rough. That just doesn't work for me- I need placemats that can withstand the occasional washing! I thought they were such a great value, but this was truly a case for me of getting what you paid for.
