These are not white, they're actually more like ivory. I was wanting ivory but they were out of stock so I ordered white, so I am actually happy with the color, although I could imagine someone actaully wanting white could be upset about it. They were a little wrinkly as cotton usually is but smoothed out fine once I put them on the bed. They have a nice quality feel to them. My husbands one complaint was that they were a little too warm.

Additional comment:
I wrote the review for these soon after I got them and gave four stars, but I felt compelled to edit my review because they quickly became "nubby", which I did not expect from sheets that were egyption cotton with 400 thread count. Now they feel like sandpaper.

I followed the instructions carefully, washed only in cold water, tumble dry extra low, etc. but these sheets still shrank. Also terrible pilling after only a few months. I do not recommend. The sheets were wrinkly, but I could live with that, but not the pilling, which makes them uncomfortable to sleep on.

They were advertised as having deep pockets but found it almost impossible to get the bottom sheet on my queen size mattress-almost sprained a finger getting the last corner on. This was after only one washing in cold water. Smoothness was o.k., but too much work getting them on the mattress.

I got two sets, sky blue and mauve, one for me and one for my mother. There doesn't seem to be an improvement over our Ashley 350 count sheets, and, frankly, though this says sateen, it is still rough. It's not like sand or wool, but you feel a thread texture when you touch it. If I am getting high end sheets, I at least want softness, and, if they say sateen, I expect the very smooth, glossy finish that I have experienced on other luxury sheet brands in department stores. This does not have that. Put these sateen sheets next to regular sheets and you cannot feel a difference.

Further, my sky blue had a pink tinge to it such that it appeared the same hue of pink-lavender as the mauve I purchased. I've seen other complaints like this.

This was the first thing I have ever sent back to Amazon. It wasn't wildly defective, but there was no reason to keep them.

These sheets are OK, but certainly dont feel as soft as other 400 tc sheets that I own. They are thick, which i think gives them a rougher feel. They are better than average store-bought sheets, but not as high quality as I thought they'd be.

I opened the package and washed the sheets as directed in cold water, then dried them on low heat.

When I tried to put the fitted sheet on the bed, the sheet was not tight on the bed, yet the elastic inside promptly snapped while I was putting it on the mattress.

I would like to return the sheets, but I refuse to pay shipping to return it! I feel in a situation like this, Amazon.com should step up to the plate and offer to replace the item, since it is obviously of poor quality, and unusable in the condition it is in.

I've ordered several items from Amazon.com in the past, and never had a problem until now. I hope someone will contact me to help me with this issue.

I purchased these sheets for a mattress that is 15" high Sterns and Foster Mattress and it does not fit the mattress very well at all. There are 2 corners on one end that it is about 2 inches from the bottom. I am not happy with my purchase and I doubt about the 18" pockets if that is accurate.

The sheets are very soft as described. They were not as deep pocketed as the description said. Overall I am satisfied with them!

is not gold! They feel ok but I have not even washed them and they are wrinkled. The hems are not sewn well particularly the pillows so they look cheap. The sheets are big and will fit pillow top matresses well. The colour is beautiful though and they feel strong, I am just worried about how they will look after I wash them! I think the prices posted as the original prices are not accurate. As the consumer we are being made to believe that they are really high quality until we get the package!

The first shipment of the King sheet set was in Ivory & not White as ordered, & package said fits up to 16" mattresses, Amazon's stated description said fits up to 18" mattresses. Customer Service promptly said they would correct, but the second shipment was the exact same as the first. We returned both via UPS & are awaiting the nearly $11 in UPS charges. First disappointment with an Amazon order we've experience.
