Water-Resistant Tassel Tablecloth vs Crate & Barrel Merrow Stitch Warm Natural Organic Cotton Tablecloth: which is safer?

Where these two actually differ

• We flag Formaldehyde resins (durable finish/wrinkle resistance), Coating degradation and microparticle shedding and VOC off-gassing from coating application on the Deconovo and not on the Crate and Barrel.
• We flag Pesticide residues from cotton cultivation and Microbial growth and mold from retained moisture on the Crate and Barrel and not on the Deconovo.
• Both carry a flag for Azo dyes and synthetic colorants, so neither choice avoids it.
• The Deconovo is polyester blend with water-resistant coating (type unspecified) where the Crate and Barrel is 100% organic cotton, no coating, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
• The gap is 45 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Crate and Barrel is the one to buy.
• We are less certain about the Deconovo grade, at 35% confidence against 88%, because it discloses less.
