I ordered the taupe and I am very pleased with this product - I only wish Great Offer Stock carried the entire sheet set. The pillowcases have an incredible shine that gives them such a luxurious look and the fabric seems to be VERY durable, I think these pillowcases will definately last a long time. I previously ordered some 200 ct egyptian cotton sheets and there is no comparison between the two, while these are incredibly luxurious, the threading in the 200 ct just looked and felt cheap. Although these are super satiny and soft, they seem a little scratchy, but hopefully washing them will help with that.
