I needed some new bedsheets and I fell in love with the plum color on the website. When I received them, I immediately put them on the bed and loved how it fit with my decor. I have a light linen duvet and the combination of the dark plum sheets and light linen looks great. The sheets themselves are smooth and soft. So far I have washed them several times and they are holding up good in the wash. They seem to be very durable. Fits my queen-size bed perfectly and the pillows fit well too, not too much fabric so they gap or look baggy. I'm very pleased with my purchase!
