These sheets are strong and feel like they will last a long time.  I love the stripes -- helps me make the bed more quickly!  The sheets really are quite comfortable, although I was kind of expecting them to be even softer, like silk.  It looks as though they get softer with washing, so Ill have to see how that pans out.

My only complaint is that the new sheets arrived rather dirty --- neatly packaged inside a fabric wrapping, but inside the folded edges were dirty and there were about 15 little loose threads of all colors folded into the sheets.  The dirt came out in the first wash, but it just wasnt very nice to open our new sheets and discover them dirty.

Anyway, overall, these sheets were well worth the money in my opinion and I am very happy with the purchase.
