The table runner is truly stunning, with exquisite roping and design details that exceeded my expectations. Unfortunately, it arrived with a noticeable mildew-like odor, reminiscent of mold. Despite attempting to eliminate the scent by running it through the dryer, the smell persists. While the design is undeniably beautiful, the unpleasant odor deducts from my overall satisfaction. I would rate it 4 out of 5 stars, hoping that airing it out will eventually alleviate the issue.
