Absolutely love the watercolor-like look of the pumpkin design! I wanted something for fall so these were perfect. As others have noted, the color is not a deep plum or raisin as it appears, but more of a subdued shade of violet. The material, by appearance, seems bit unusual for placemats, but they had a substantial weight to them to lay nicely once the creases were ironed out from the folds. Overall, I am pleased with my purchase.

The color was more violet than purple so a little disappointed. Did not like the fabric on placemats and napkins but when combined with other linens set a pretty table. OK for use once a year.
