These sheets are substantial and definitely have deep pockets. They did make quite a bit of dryer lint when first washing like some of the reviews alerted, so I checked and cleaned the dryer filter several times and that helped. They seem nice and soft, the color was as pictured, however we ordered the CAL-King and the fitted sheet seemed too wide and not long enough - almost like a standard King size.  The deep pockets saved the fit so we'll keep them as they fit better on our 17" mattress than other sheet sets we have tried.
