I bought these sheets because they resembled some sheets that I had bought a few years ago from a very expensive store. I spent about $400 on those sheets. I couldn't resist checking them out at this great price. So I bought them just to use as a back up to my back up sheets. Well, they are better than the sheets that I had bought a few years ago. I ended up buying a duvet to match the brown stripe in them...can't have sheets that do not match the duvet, now can I? They are in my regular rotation now and I love them. They are extremely thick and soft, very nice and for the price...you can't go wrong. I'm gonna buy some for my kids' beds.
