The color is not as expected, thought I was getting a beige or light tan but they look more yellowish than tan. The package says they fit an 18" mattress but my mattress is just 13" and it just fits. Also, I like my sheets crisp and cool and these are soft and warm. In my book they are just Ok especially for the price. I was expecting better. I do like how they look and can only hope they will holdup thru many washings as they feel kind of flimsy. I know I gave the bed skirt a good review but that was just about looks.
