If you want an affordable bed skirt then this is it. I am a big fan of bed skirts because they make your bed look finished. Also, if you are like me and use underbed storage boxes for my out of season bedding and pillows, the bed skirt offers a cover so that you don't look like you belong on one of those TV hoarding shows! (laugh here). This bed skirt fabric is about the weight of a thin bed sheet. I also like that this one covers your box spring so that unlike the ones you just tuck in, it stays put without a lot of shifting around. I would recommend what I did, and that was to toss it in the dryer for a few minutes to help get the wrinkles out. Then I ironed the skirt part and used a little spray starch to give it a little more body. I am happy with it because it is a nice skirt for the money, by the time you add your comforter, sheets and pillows, it's a nice look. The tailored skirt has pleats, so it has a nice clean look suitable for any decor.
