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

Where these two actually differ

• 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 Pottery Barn.
• We flag DWR finish composition (PFAS suspected but unconfirmed), Formaldehyde or formaldehyde releasers in fabric finish or dyes, Azo dyes (if the product is dyed) and VOC off-gassing from finish or dyes during storage or use on the Pottery Barn and not on the Crate and Barrel.
• The Crate and Barrel is 100% organic cotton, no coating where the Pottery Barn is Cotton/linen blend with durable water-repellent (DWR) finish, 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 Pottery Barn grade, at 45% confidence against 88%, because it discloses less.
