I was hesitant to order these sheets because my husband doesn't care for the feel of microfiber. But they were so pretty and matched the decor in my guest room, so I placed my order and I am very pleased. The lace washes beautifully as do the whole sheets--no ironing required. And best of all, our first guests to use them commented that they were the softest sheets they'd ever slept on and asked where we'd found them. That is the best review you can ask for from your guests! Obviously, I would recommend these and will probably order some for another bedroom as well.
