I bought this for the skirting on a drum riser.  It worked perfectly!  I wanted something to cover up the support system and look more professional.  Drum riser skirts are expensive.. this worked great!  I like the idea of wrapping around a bed instead of lifting the mattress though.. so if I was in the market for a bed skirt I would definitely give this a try.  The drum riser is shown behind the singer in the picture.
