the colour is great. I've been hunting all over the place to find bedding which is cream/ivory and it's impossible to find. The fabric quality is OK but the grain of the weave is distinctly twisted, so although the pattern should be one of squares, they are all distorted and it rather spoils the appearance. Other reviewers have commented on this so it wasn't a surprise, but I was just desperate to have something in the right colour so had to accept this major flaw. The pictures are of a pillowcase.
