This black cotton tablecloth is super easy to use. Just lay it on your table, and it'll instantly spruce up the look of your event. Whether it's a wedding, birthday party, or a restaurant setting, it fits right in. Remember, since it's not pre - shrunk, there might be a 2 - 4% shrinkage after you wash it. To keep it in good condition, wash it in cold water and avoid using harsh detergents. Hang it to dry to prevent any damage to the hemmed edges. Also, keep in mind that only the tablecloth is part of the purchase, so don't expect any other decorations to come with it.
