I bought this skirt for a guest bedroom. The sheets and comforter are striped with different colors of gray. Needed a skirt to hide what's under the bed (don't ask... could be monsters at this point, who knows, I'm too afraid to check)...

I have seen reviews where people say it's not really gray. Gray is weird. Gray is hard to match! Just like RED is weird and hard to match. But I needed gray vs. black or white due to the above-mentioned monsters under the bed, also we have 3 cats who like ta mess around under there - which means - cat hair on the bedskirt. Gray will hide the fur (and monsters); black and white would not (we have a vast array of colors going on as far as the cats go.... a black one, a gray tiger one, and an orange/white guy who is about as big around as Australia).

Anyhoo. I took lots of pictures because I LIKE THIS BEDSKIRT! It does the job! You will have to iron it first. I did NOT wash it, because out of the package it didn't stink. I would recommend if you must wash it though, wash in COLD on the gentle cycle.

I DID iron it --- and warning - if that iron touches the meshy white part? IT WILL MELT. I had to put the iron on the hottest setting with steam in order to get those wrinkles out, if you want it to have that nice, flat, smooth look like it does in the seller's picture. It irons out beautifully, just be very careful with your iron when you get close to the white meshy part; I burned a little wee hole in the mesh (no big deal because it's hidden anyway once you get the mattress on it and make the bed w/ the comforter hanging down).

RE THE GRAY COLOR: It IS a tad more on the "brown-gray" side, I will admit that. The comforter has so many grays in it, I just don't care. Plus it's near the floor and not the main attraction in the room. PLUS... our carpets are tannish brown, SO the carpet ties in nicely with the skirt and comforter.

For a guest room this is perfect. It is not see through as others have claimed, at least, not in our very dark 1970's house (our windows are sadly not as big as our orange and white cat that I mentioned up there; how I wish they were). I took a pic of my hand behind it, lit from behind, so you can see it is only a tad opaque, but not completely see through.

All in all happy with the purchase. It was not a Prime shipment (I'm a total Prime Princess), but I didn't care; the monsters under the bed didn't care, either. They now have a safe, neat looking place to hide. =D

Absolutely horrible. First wash...

Even tho I knew the "paper" foundation onto which the dust ruffle was attached was highly heat vulnerable, I still hit it with the iron while ironing out the massive wrinkles from packaging and melted a hole in it. I sure wish it had been on a real fabric base. Also, it was supposed to have a 14" drop and my bedframe should have had a 14" height, but the bed skirt drags on the floor and is a little wider than the bed frame. A little narrower would have been better. It needs modification, but I have to have help taking the mattress off, so it won't be any time soon. If I do that, I'll probably attach it to an old sheet instead of it's paper foundation, or possibly start from scratch. The material is pretty thin, too, but all these problems were mostly obvious from the other reviews. Nobody makes a nice bed skirt, especially in a twin xl which I need for my split king bed.

Great item for the price. We just redid one of our bedrooms and put this on our son's bed along with blue and green plaid bedding. This looks really nice. Fits easily and I like that it has a piece across the center. We put this on his bed in less than a minute. We bought two more in regular twin size as well and the grey goes with the red plaid bedding and navy bedding on the other beds. We're very happy. Perfect for kids, teens or a guest room. You know, it's a bedskirt and it does the job nicely of covering the box spring and the area under the bed.

Nice cotton fabric for the bed skirt that holds its shape nice and crisp. The only downfall is the fabric that lays under the mattress. It melted when my iron touched it. It’s really not fabric. I would buy again though. The skirt is really nice.
