I ordered the light grey set. There was a bit of a strong smell when I opened the package which came from the plastic package itself and not the sheets. I washed and dried them before putting in the bed, after washing them they was so soft. This sheet set appears to be very well-made, soft, and of good thickness. The stitch quality is excellent. They fit my mattress really good, a little loose fitting but have been using the set for about 2 weeks and the sheet stays in place, never comes off of mattress like most sheets, I am very satisfied with this brand. I will definitely be ordering more on different colors in the future, also recommend to family and friends.
