Starting an Airbnb meant lots of research on sheets. I ordered 4 different types including this set. When the different products arrived, I washed all of them and examine them carefully. All were approximately the same price, except this set had additional pillow cases that were a bonus. Two of the other sets had come highly recommended, but the workmanship on seams and elastic installation was very poor and the fabric was thin and felt flimsy. On these 100  Egyptian cotton sheets, the workmanship was excellent. They are beautiful, substantial sheets that I believe will not fall apart under frequent use. My bet is that the others I ordered wont last a month under Airbnb use. I just ordered more of these sets. They are comfortable and elegant.
