Product Insights
The Simons Maison Merlot Flowers Embroidered Tablecloth is a vivid merlot red, 100% polyester cloth that mimics the drape and saturated color of formal cotton or linen with a matte finish and minimal sheen. It resists fading, shrinkage, fraying, and retains shape, with embroidery that withstands machine washing (gentle cold cycle, inside out). It dries faster, requires no ironing, and costs $49 CAD, less than embroidered natural-fiber cloths. However, it lacks a stain-resistant coating, requiring prompt spot cleaning for spills.
