Benson Mills Christmas Engineered Tablecloth Reviews Summary

Fabric Quality

Pros:

• "The fabric is pretty thick."
• "The material is nice too. It has just the right weight to drape nicely but not bulky."
• "Fabric feels rich and pleasant pattern shimmers like embroidered silk."
• "The table cloth is beautifully weaved with texture. It has depth and shimmers on the table."
• "The material is a lovely thick Jacquard!"
• "The fabric is great - not flimsy - with a very nice drape."
• "The fabric was a nice weight and they actually had a hem, not just some finishing stitch."

Cons:

• "After the first wash the colors faded, after the second wash it looked 5 years old."
• "After one washing in cold water on delicate, red faded to an odd brownish red."
• "They not only faded, they look tattered at the hems like they are about 10 years old."
• "I noticed threads hanging off the somewhat uneven edge seams."
• "Also, some of the stitching around the edges is not the greatest."
• "I was so excited when this arrived only to open it up and it was absolutely beautiful EXCEPT FOR THE HUGE SNAG right in the middle!"
• "I have never had a problem with Anything from Amazon but this table cloth I was definitely seconds the border on one side is much longer than the other the sewing is bad if I didn’t need it immediately I would’ve sent it back very poor quality no one should buy it."

Design and Appearance

Pros:

• "The print on it was very nice."
• "The jacquard design is subtle, the colors are vivid but not garish, and the design is classic without being stodgy."

• "beautiful printed tablecloth!!!"

Cons:

• "Looks festive, but hard to wash or iron."
• "The picture was a white solid with ribbons & flowers on it. This tablecloth was a dingy color with the ribbons and flowers."
• "The unfortunate thing is that the shipper could not ship out on time and what should have been for this Christmas did not arrive until after the new year."
• "So disappointed with this. The print looks like it bled out... Not even a good vintage look."
• "The tablecloth came used and/or dirty from the package."
• "Since the design is printed, not woven, it wouldn't do well for constant use."
• "I was disappointed that there were two dark spots on it, which is why four stars instead of five."

• "I washed them and they are still as vivid and beautiful as they were when I took them out of the package."

• "All stains came out and the tablecloth looks as good as new."
• "It washes easily and was stain resistant."
• "Washes easily, dries wrinkle-free...love it!"
• "It washes up beautifully."

Cons:

• "I bought this a few days before Christmas 2014. It looked nice out of the bag and used it for Christmas dinner. Washed it for the first time a few days later, in cold water as instructed, and all the red throughout the tablecloth faded severely."
• "I washed it again but stains appear to be permanent."
• "It came out of the drier faded on the borders and covered in odd pink stains."
• "Washed today for the second time. I always wash with cold water and Tide Free. after today's washing it is faded out."
• "I washed this once and the printing is already fading off."
• "Very pretty and will be fine until the first time you wash the linens. The red trim faded around all seams, very disappointed in the quality."

Fit and Size

Pros:

• "It fits perfectly over my table."
• "This table cover is perfect for my 42 inch round table."
• "It's the perfect size and is beautiful for family."
• "Very nice quality, fits perfect on my table."
• "Festive and fit my table perfectly. The best thing about it is how easy it is to clean."
• "I bought the size based on recommendations in the listing and it fits perfectly!"
• "This Tablecloth fit my extended table at Christmas time easily."

Cons:

• "The picture shows the turkey on the end hanging down as well as the turkey design around the sides. It’s still too small on my table and the turkeys are more up on the table instead of hanging down."
• "I have a 6-8 seating table but I ordered a 8-10 seating length which is 60”-104” to make sure it has a good length on the sides. Right now I have table set with 6 seating and the tablecloth has no length to the sides even though I bought a size up."
• "If I added another 14 inch leaf, it would be way too short."
• "It’s really pretty but the sizing is odd and we ordered the normal size we’d get but it’s too small."
• "While this is a very pretty and well-made tablecloth, it is NOT the dimensions listed on the webpage."
• "My table is 46x118 and the tablecloth only fit the top in other words no overhang."
• "I was disappointed because it wasn't as large as I would have liked it to be. It said it would fit table for 6 to 8. It was too short to actually cover the table nicely at both ends of the table."
