These sheets were much more shiny than expected, I was kind of weary about that, thinking that it would not be comfortable, too slippery.... They are great! Not the best sheets I ever had, but they will do for the price paid. The fit is great, nice and snug, and doesn't move. I needed about 18' depth and these worked great. I have been sleeping on them for almost one week now. They washed up nicely, if they shrunk (I'm not sure as I wash all my sheets first), You couldn't tell. I gave 4 stars only because like I said, I have had better sheets.
