I don't review many items but had to review these because this is the best purchase I have made on Great Offer Stock.com. When you open the box they are packaged in a simple recycled plastic bag and wrapped in tissue, and the first thing you notice is how heavy they are. When you open them there is a letter from Veratex with some information about their company and that these are made in the USA, I was very impressed with the packaging and then I picked up the sheets. Beautiful soft smooth HEAVY sheets, obviously top of the line fabric and the stitching is perfect and well done. You may spend a little more, but these will not be wearing out or tearing anytime soon. I got 2 sets and am ordering another today, I can't say enough- these are top of the line, beautiful. quality sheets.
