Thanks chi5952, colliegirls, mousiegirl, & VaBelle35, for sharing your experiences & input. I checked the other tablecloths & they are fine. I will return the 60x84 tomorrow & hope they will have another one. Colliegirls, I read the blog you posted, very interesting & I did notice that, although they have lots of things, there weren't many duplicates. I will check things more carefully in the future. Although, the flaw on the tablecloth was folded deep inside the package & short of completely stretching out the whole thing, I would have not seen it. Thanks everyone for responding.

Thanks, KathyL, I considered that. The "repair" is visible from the underside & is located at the tip of the dinner knife in a place setting. If I put a glass there, the guest would see it when she took a drink. I appreciate the suggestion, though.

I can't recall every having a problem with anything from there besides a silverware set that didn't last long at all. It didn't cost that much, but it wasn't cheapy cheap either. I was disappointed. But I've bought so many things there that have been wonderful. Perhaps their quality is going down? I don't shop there much as there isn't one near me anymore.

Update: I returned the tablecloth after checking to see if there were any others in the size I wanted. There weren't .The SA cheerfully refunded my $ & commented that they sometimes get flawed merchandise. I ended up going to Kohl's & getting a tablecloth that coordinates with the other two, not what I would normally choose, but it will do. BTW, I also went to Younkers(BonTon), they had a very limited selection. The SA there told me they have decided not to offer many because "no one buys tablecloths anymore." Colliemom, I don't think HGs quality is going down more than anyone else's. The tablecloths I got at HG were much better quality than the one at Kohl's IMO. They were very generously sized & the fabric was much nicer.

Kath, I'm glad you were able to find one at Kohl's. I've noticed the quality has gone down in so many things. I've really been disappointed in clothing I've purchased at major department stores lately. Stores need to get back to selling things made here in America. I realize some do, but not many. I'd rather pay a little more for quality items than cheap poor quality items.

Oh of course Home Goods sells seconds. That's why its a part of Marshall's and TJ Maxx. I never was under the assumption that HG sold first quality items. That's why they are discounted! Love Home Goods but you have to look everything over.

I still use tablecloths just because I have a really old tile top farm table from the 90s. Every time I get ready to buy a new kitchen table, something happens that causes me to hold off on spending the money.

We have a home goods store I enjoy a lot but don't go there much. It is attached to a TJ Maxx and both stores are always neat, clean and very nice places to shop.

There are no defects on anything I have bought from Home Goods. There are, however, defects on items in the store, one just has to inspect them, and only buy what does not have flaws. Most of their products in the store are flawless. I wouldn't buy them if they were defective in any way, and I have bought a ton.

You can get defective products anywhere. They are more apt to be found in places such as Home Goods. As everyone says, check things carefully.
