Received my new sheets, the color (taupe) was much darker than the picture but still a nice color. They were washed and dried according to the directions, I removed them right away from the dryer but there were still some wrinkles, but not bad. One of the pillow cases twisted out of shape after the first wash and dry and I noticed after the second wash that the fitted sheet is already starting to pill a bit. I have a California King bed and they do fit very nice. So all in all they are OK but don't think I will buy this "Egyptian-Quality Cotton" again, for the price I did expect a bit better quality.
