I was very pleased with my purchase, because I have 2 other sets that we purchased from the Canadian National Exibition!! (CNE) with a little difference! My sheets were a bit thinner! The 9900 Platinum Series is thicker, and after washing them, I removed them immediately after drying from dryer. No need to iron! But I did! Only because am obsessed with perfection.  So conclude,  am very,very happy with my Purchase.  Black Beauty !!
