Lovely pillowcases. I don't understand how people can complain about 800 thread count sheets being "too thick or heavy." That's kind of the point. They are quality sheets that will last a long time, and higher thread count sheets are always a little heavy and stiff at first, it just takes a few washings to make them soft, but they will always be really thick. Again, that's the point. The only thing I didn't like was that the gold was a darker yellow than I thought it would be, but that's the risk you take buying things off the internet. Computer screens vary in color projection, but the gold on Great Offer Stock does tend to run more yellowish on all screens. (I also bought some sheets which I returned.) I also bought these in taupe, they have a nice sheen to them and match beautifully with my duvet cover. However, they did bleed out a little bit, but I did wash them not on hot on accident, which the instructions say not to do.
