These shams are a close match for a quilt I purchased from an upscale catalog, but cost less than 1/2 the price of the shams from that set.  I gave them only 4 stars because they look good but are a big oversized for a standard pillow.  I haven't washed them yet so I can't attest to how they'll hold up.  If they do shrink a bit, they'll actually be a perfect fit.  Overall, I'm pleased with my purchase.

Pros: affordable
Cons: a bit too large for a standard pillow
