Crate & Barrel Aspen Tablecloth vs Crate & Barrel Merrow Stitch Warm Natural Organic Cotton Tablecloth: which is safer?

Where these two actually differ

• We flag Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment chemistry (PFAS status unknown) and Coating degradation and surface flaking over time on the Crate and Barrel and not on the Crate and Barrel.
• We flag Azo dyes and synthetic colorants, Pesticide residues from cotton cultivation and Microbial growth and mold from retained moisture on the Crate and Barrel and not on the Crate and Barrel.
• The Crate and Barrel is Linen blend with water/stain repellent finish 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 Crate and Barrel grade, at 45% confidence against 88%, because it discloses less.
