These were ordered for my daughter's bed and were amazing right out of the box. Due to visitors, my son ended up sleeping on these a few nights and the kids were fighting over who got to use them after the visitors left. I've only washed them once so far but they seem to be fairly wrinkle free and there hasn't been any stain issues. We are using the white ones and have a patterned mattress and you can see the pattern through the sheets. Easily remedied with mattress pad if that would be a problem.
