I read all the reviews before ordering this item.  Several said the fabric had a very strong odor, and several others said the box springs showed at the corners.  Mine arrived today and let me say I am very happy with these bedskirts.  With regards to the odor, there was hardly any at all.  I used my steamer to steam the wrinkles out after putting them on the bed, and any faint smell that may have been there is now gone.  So don’t let that keep you from ordering these.  The fabric weight is perfect and the quality is very nice!  However, the corners do not close “at all” so the box springs are very visible.  I just pinched the top of the corner,  folded them over and pinned them from the backside.  Very simple fix and only you will ever know they are pinned.  All in all, a very nice product for the price.  Thank you Birch Lane!  (I gave 4 stars only because I had to pin them.)
