This is a beautiful bed skirt and, while it was a bit too long,  I was able to easily tuck it under the mattress to make it the right length.  I would give it 5 stars, but mine had a defect/gray spot that would not come out.  I did not notice it until I was in the process of installing the skirt under my heavy mattress with the help of a friend.  I was just past my return period and I figured I would live with it.  But, after spending more than I ever had for a bed skirt, I was disappointed to see that there was not better quality control by the manufacturer.
