I was looking for pillow shams for my guest room, and didn't want to spend an arm and a leg. I hunted high and low before finding these on Overstock. These were inexpensive, yet looked as though they were substantive; simple but attractive. I was not disappointed. The fabric was every bit as thick as I had hoped, and the color was a dead-on match to what it looked like online. They look great with the quilt on the bed. They washed up nicely -- not wrinkled -- went right on the bed and looked great.

The shams are nice fabric. Not comfortable for sleeping, I'm sure, but I don't think shams are intended for sleeping. They do not have zippers, they are more envelope style in design. I found the standard to be a snug fit for my pillows, but I think a pillow in a sham should be full in appearance. I didn't want the shams to be much larger than the pillows. While I was wrestling in one of the pillows, however, I heard some stitches give. I don't see any unraveling and it wouldn't be that big of a deal to put in a few stitches if necessary. I don't see any damage, but I've been a bit more gentle with the shams ever since. I have found it difficult to find reasonably priced, plain solid color shams. These shams fit the bill well. The somewhat rough fabric goes well with a patchwork quilt. I doubt it would work well in a more formal bedroom-- it is a better match for a country style quilt than it would be for a more elaborate bedspread.

I like the weight of the fabric and the color is very dark navy, just what I wanted.

• How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Great
• Please tell us about the quality of the product. Very good quality

My old bedding of five years had finally given out. So to get us by until I was able to find the bedding I wanted I changed everything to white. I think the shams are great and fit my current needs. I would recommend this product to my friends.

I ordered the duvet several weeks ago and it came with two shams- but I wanted a contrasting color for the other two pillows- I ordered the sage green and it finishes off my bedding set beautifuly. Very happy camper!

I have slept on these shams and they're pretty rough at first but get more comfortable as you break them in. However, the main problem that I have with them is that they slightly tore at the seams when I was putting them on a pillow. I'm not at all impressed with the quality. Also, I ordered them in Ebony and the color was rather ashy looking. If I were you, I'd buy something else.

These are really well made and fit my pillows well. They are sturdy and should hold up well. The only issue I have is that they are a bit scratchy, but I don't sleep on them so that's not a problem for me. I have not washed them yet, so I don't know how they will look afterward, but right now they have the crisp, clean look I wanted.

Very soft, perfect for my pillows with the new bedspread I bought. I only wish I bought 2 more. Very good product for the price. Colors are exactly as they appear. I purchased the Sage Shams. This definitely worth the money.

In spite of the problem, I did not return the shams, because the dark thread was sewn into the border in the side and could be covered up by positioning the other sham over it. I was disappointed in this problem, but the sham is for a spare bedroom that gets little use. The poplin fabric seems of high quality otherwise, and the bedroom looks more finished with this addition. The white color wouldn't be a practical choice except for a spare bedroom, and it continues the bright, airy look that our real estate agent recommends. I haven't washed them, yet, so can't comment on that.

The shams were very rough, stiff fabric and had lines that looked like pencil lines on them. Overstock was very fast, professional, and gracious with their return policy.

These are very clean crisp shams; perfect for front sham pillows.

These are a little stiff and needed ironing after washing, but just they are just as you would expect. This is a good value!

They look great and would definitely order them again.

Sheets feel great. Fast delivery! Stand up after washing several times.

These shams feel cheap and stiff. I washed them before using which didn't help soften them at all.

Bought these to go with a bright quilt in one of my rental properties. We ironed them and they look very good.

So glad I bought these. They looked wonderful on our bed. I wouldn't use them to sleep on though as they are a bit stiff. That might change after a couple washings, but I only use them for decoration.

just what I was looking for. Good weight and no iron

These are well made sham's that are made of a thick material that maintains it shape!

Not crazy about these shams. Scratchy, not comfy at all. Cheap fabric.
