I haven't washed them yet, but so far these sheets are exactly what I expected them to be. The thread count is 400, much nicer than bargain brand 200 or 250 thread count, but not enough to be super luxurious. They are nicely made and the color is as shown. In my opinion, these are far better than the store bargains, and at a similar bargain price. I prefer 600 count, but for the price, I'm quite happy with them.
