I bought this set because the dimensions were just right for my table with the leaf in, I couldn't find another one for less than $100. I was leery of buying it because I am a fussy about linens and the price was too good to be true. I want things to be perfect. I needed a very specific color that was not available, so I chose the white and dyed them the day they arrived. I had been concerned because they were not 100% cotton, I decided the price was low enough to gamble on them, even though I was uncertain if the dye would take. But it did, and the set is gorgeous. They are easy to press, they come out of the dryer good enough to use for informal settings. I am an "ironer' so I iron them, but it is easy because they are already smooth. The only criticism I have about these linens is that a couple of the napkins weren't perfectly square. But all were close enough to do the fancy folds I use on my table and nobody would ever notice it unless they were the one ironing them. If you are considering this set, you should go ahead and get it. In fact I am thinking of getting a couple more of them to dye other colors.
