I always like to give as many stars as I can but I'm afraid 3 stars is my very maximum. We washed the sheet/valance before use as recommended, but after the wash the sheet/valance changed colour and the grey turned to a pale blue. Furthermore the valance came out darker than the sheet and so we have a two-tone sheet/valance in blue instead of grey. The material on the sheet is very thin and I suspect it won't be too long before it wears through and tears. We will see.
