This wrap around bedskirt is wonderful! My box spring is worse than bare, it has an old ugly striped bottom sheet on it that I have despised, but I was not able to remove it, and then I'd be left with the bare boxspring fabric anyway. When I thought of a bedskirt, I only saw the kind that are attached to a sheet that goes under the mattress. Then I recalled decades ago having one that was elastic, and with the right search strings found what I was looking for. I looked at many, read reviews, and finally settled on this one, even though there were cheaper ones available. I am very pleased with this choice. The fabric is very soft, and drapes nicely. It arrives rather wrinkled, and more ambitious folks might iron it first. I didn't and most wrinkles have hung out.The color is a very deep eggplant. I used a flash on the photo so it looks lighter. The photo shows fit, but the color is not accurate -- again, it is a deep eggplant (which I love).The bedskirt was very easy for me to put on by myself, taking maybe ten minutes to do so. It fits my queen bed perfectly, with plenty of stretch left. Because my bed is on the floor (no frame) it's a bit long, but I put the upper elastic on the mattress over the sheets and under the comforter, and the lower elastic on the top of the boxspring. This way it doesn't creep under the mattress, and when I make the bed, I just lower the elastic at the corners then pull it back up. Works perfectly.
