After putting this "Palace" Casablanca Sheer Bed Canopy/Sheer Mosquito Netting up over my bed, my Princess Sasha cat thought this made a very nice tent and promptly took her place under the canopy and thought I had put this netting up just for her. Well, all was good and fine until she decided to see what it tasted like and was chewing on one corner.

Fortunately, she learns fast and it only took me saying "no" twice for her to realize this was not a product she should be chewing on. If you have small kittens, this might be a problem to consider. There are ways to arrange the netting so it is far above the ground. In fact, I seem to adjust this entire setup daily to suit my mood.

Sometimes I have all the eight panels tied up around the bed like a four-poster bed and then at other times I get creative and pull the end four panels together, twirl them and fold them up over the top. This creates an interesting effect and it looks like a palace bed. Then, there are times when I want to feel like I'm living in some romantic location on the globe and I let all the sheer panels float about the bed. It creates a very romantic environment and I like how the sheer netting can create exotic moods.

I have been very happy with this purchase and it only took about 10 minutes to install. You simply screw in the four hooks provided with the product. Then, you unfold the netting and hook it up on the ceiling.

Contents of box:

1 sheer bed canopy

4 ties (these are like little white ropes)

4 plastic anchors (If you need them before you install the screw hooks - I don't think you will need them for most ceilings. They say some ceilings may need an anchor and you can use a drill bit or nails to make a hole in the ceiling and then insert the anchors.)

4 ceiling screw hooks

This product is machine washable and it hangs to dry. I'd use a very gentle cycle. It is 100% polyester and can fit any bed up to a king size bed. Look for this product in white, ecru, sage, peace or lilac.

~The Rebecca Review

They don't provide air conditioning or window screens here and I am not going through summer with the windows closed. So I bought 2 of these in white; one for my queen size bed and one for my daughter's twin size bed. They are great!
I did find that because these are made for king size beds, they gapped at the ends where the fabric drooped. I solved the problem with my daughter's by taking the excess tie length and tying it between the hooks at each end. Then I took a white plastic clothes pin and pinned the end seams to the ties. It not only closed the gaps but raised the top of the canopy a little more away from the bed.
The gaps at the ends of my bed are much narrower so I just pull them closed and tuck the edge of the netting under my matteress.

Completely useless as a mosquito net. It has large gaps and the mesh is cut on the bias so that you cannot actually close the side or the roof of the netting. I had to use 30 clothes pegs to keep it closed until I bought a decent mosquito net locally.

I think they ought to say ... "for decorative purposes only".

This canopy is exactly as described. I bought the black version and was easily able to install it on my four poster canopy bed. The fabric pieces are all long enough to touch the ground, and it adds a really nice touch to my bedroom. For its relatively inexpensive price, I found it a bargain.

It is so pretty. I live in an apartment and it does not make the room look smaller at all like I thought it would. the best thing to buy for a bedroom.

I recently received my order for the Casablanca Palace Four Poster Bed Canopy and I got it in the shade of Ecru. I have a king size bed with four posters and the rungs across the top of the canopy frame and this Palace canopy is perfect for the bed. I just put each of the 4 loops under the bedpost knob at the top of the canopy post and it reaches great. I love the way it looks and you can have it all the way down or have it twisted or tied up. There's endless possiblities with how you want it to look. I love how the fabric is very light and meshy so that it still lets light through it and doesn't darken the room. I was afraid that it would make our room dark having a canopy curtain but it's perfect. I can see how it would be too much for a twin or double bed because it fits our king bed perfectly and the fabric even touches the ground when it's all the way down and our bed is very high up and the canopy frame is super tall (about 87 inches tall). Long story short, great product great price and it looks absoluetely beautiful on my bed!

This is a great deal for the price- The canopy is gorgeous, and easy to install and personalize-how you want your center hanging, etc. Comes with ceiling hangers that can give you the look of a 4 poster on any bed. Highly recommend.

We were very anxious to get this canopy. We had been looking for quite sometime for something that would go with our egyptian looking bedroom. This appeared online and we thought we would send for it and give it a try. It arrived very quickly and we immediately put it up. It was so simple to install. It is so pretty and matches perfectly with our room. Also, it is very fun to sleep under. Our friends love it!

Nice esthetically, but not practical for keeping mosquitoes out. Too many holes.

Make sure you read ALL the customer reviews for this product. **** NOT A FUNCTIONAL MOSQUITO NET. **** They could not have made this product more cheaply. Basically they just stitched a few open bolts of mesh cloth so that they could be hung. **** The bolts of netting are NOT stitched on the sides, at the corners, nor across the middle top. (If you look very closely at the photo, you can see evidence of this.) In other words: It is ALL OPEN. **** In order to keep out the mosquitoes, we had to clip the bolts of netting together with clothespins to get it closed enough to be effective. I supposed it could be fixed by running each side & the top thru a sewing machine with some binding-tape. But the product -- as is? -- is NOT out-of-the-box ready for use against mosquitoes. **** Also: When hanging, make sure you stretch it as tight as possible. The loose-hang (as shown) opens up the bolts of unstitched netting with wide openings (thus letting more mosquitoes in). **** While, yes, it LOOKS attractive and possibly even "romantic", this is NOT A FUNCTIONAL MOSQUITO NET. **** Product NOT recommended.
