Let me start by saying this bed skirt is *adorable*. The blush pink color is soft and feminine, exactly as pictured. When I first unfolded it, I was impressed by the delicate pinch pleats—they add such a luxurious touch to my basic bed frame. The microfiber material feels smooth, almost silky, and drapes nicely.

BUT—and this is a big but—it arrived looking like it had been stuffed in a suitcase for a cross-country trip. Wrinkles galore! I spent a solid 45 minutes steaming it (yes, on the bed frame like one reviewer suggested) to get those pleats to behave. Pro tip: Don’t even think about skipping this step unless you want your bed to look like a crumpled napkin.

The fit is decent for my queen bed, though the 14" drop *just* skims my hardwood floors. If you have a taller bed frame, you might want to size up. The fabric under the mattress is thinner than I expected—definitely not "hotel quality" as advertised. I’m side-eyeing how well it’ll hold up after washing (though let’s be real, how often do we wash bed skirts?).

Biggest annoyance? No corner slits! My bed has slightly rounded corners, and the skirt bunches awkwardly there. I’m tempted to grab scissors and DIY some slits like another reviewer did for their adjustable bed.

Final verdict: It’s cute, affordable, and does the job of hiding my under-bed storage chaos. Just be prepared to put in some elbow grease to make it look presentable. 3.5/5 stars—would recommend for low-maintenance decorators who don’t mind a little wrinkly charm.
