OK, they are not as well made as some of the more expensive sheets I have, and a little on the thin side, but...Having said that, they are really, really pretty. They also are so generously sized, the top sheet was a surprising 116 inches long!! My mattress is only 14 inches deep, so the topsheet was almost too big, but I love, love having the top sheet tuck in so far, and if you have a really thick mattress, I'm sure you would really appreciate the extra fabric in these sheets. They are nice percale, crisp and smooth. The pillowcases are also sized for a queen sized pillow and have an extra tuck in flap, if you should need it for a larger size pillow. So, I only gave them a 4 because they are not as well made as some, but if I had known any better I would have given them a 5. They really are a great buy for the money and really classy with the embroidery.
OK, it is now two years later, and these sheets have worn like iron and actually stayed crisp! They are my favorite sheets. I DO NOT want my sheets to get softer with washing. I buy them for crispness because that's the way I like them, and these have stayed crisp, praise be! I now own three sets of them for my master bed. Although the white on white is my favorite, all the colors of embroidery look great on these snowy white sheets. They look great with whatever quilt or duvet I use in any season. I really appreciate the extra length on the top sheet and the generous size overall for my thick mattress. I at first thought that the fabric was a little thin, but the way they have worn and kept their crispness, that has not been an issue. Love them!
