First it was awesome that I didn't have to lift the mattress to put it on!  I was able to install it with my baby sleeping smack in the middle of my bed, without disturbing him.  I got the queen size but I have a king sized bed so it didn't give me the desired ruffled effect.  However, I love that it drops completely down to cover the full gap from bed to floor.  The fact that it is a little snugger is actually great for me because it deters my cat from darting under my bed to hide for a nap.  I can definitely see myself buying more of these for other rooms and am recommending to my sisters who also share the pain of lifting a heavy mattress and will love the ease of this skirt.
