These sheets are VERY thin. They are definitely not cream colored as ordered by a soft gold which is lovely. The checkered pattern stands out beautifully and the sheets are quite soft. I would not recommend these sheets for everyday use as they are very thin (feels like a 300 or less thread count) but would be nice for a guest bedroom during summer use. Similar could be purchased elsewhere for much less. No value here sorry to say. Deliver however was exceptional!
