 Good price for great sheets Apr 10, 2007
By E. Schechter
These sheets are smooth and comfortable; however, the fabric is thick and substantial, so if you like your sheets cuddly-soft, maybe you won't care for these. I'm one of those people who can't stand to have wrinkles and folds under my feet, so I've fallen in love with them; the fabric will hold up all week without getting stretched, loose, and tangly. I do wish they had done an extra row of stitching on the elastic of the fitted sheet, but at this price I suppose you can't have everything--and if it becomes necessary, I do have a needle-----somewhere-----I think.
I like the café color very much--it's a rich gold, deeper and not as yellow as the golds of yesteryear. The sheets launder well; if you take them out of the dryer promptly and iron just the top hem (Iron an entire sheet? I don't think so.), the whole set looks smooth and inviting.
So I'm very pleased. Now if I could just get my husband to let me tuck in the sheets at the bottom of his side of the bed, life would be good.

 Different sizes - Different Quality Mar 02, 2007
By Debra
I ordered a king set and a queen set. The queen sheets are unbelieveably soft, luxurious, and overall wonderful. There is a little satin trim along the top edge of the sheet.
The king sheets DON'T have the satin trim, and they are not nearly as soft. The fabric is a little stiff and kinda heavy.
The two sizes are definitely different products. I wrote Amazon about it and they offered to refund my money. I have already washed the sheets, so I may just wash them some more with more softener and hope for the best. They are still a good value for the cost, but I'm surprised at the total difference in the two sets.

The burgundy color sheets were thick but pliable. Mar 03, 2007
By Anjana Nigam
I bought these sheets in a gold box deal for a great price. Last week I bought a 100% Cotton Sateen 600 thread count sheet set from Linens and Things too for the same great price using their 20% discount coupon. In comparing the 2 sets the Linen and Things sheets seem different - they are "Made in China" and while this Renaissance set is "Made in India". These were more pliable than the other sheets which made me wonder about how can the finish be so different. A website for luxury linen company clarified things. "Thread counts aren't the be-all and end-all when it comes to sheets you love to touch. Softness depends more on the quality of the fiber, which is why a 200-thread-count fine cotton sheet can have a softer `hand' or feel than a 400-thread-count sheet that uses an inferior grade of cotton or a twisted thread. Fine linens begin with fine cotton, and the quality of the cotton depends on the lengths of the individual fibers, or staples-the longer the staple, the better the cotton...100 percent Egyptian cotton [is] acknowledged as the best quality, longest-staple cotton in the world. The way in which fabric is woven also has an effect on its feel, cotton sateen sheets, for example, are softer than those with a classic linen weave. A satin weave has more warp threads on the top surface, resulting in a silk-like touch and appealing luster. Which is better? It's a matter a personal taste; some people prefer the crispness of a linen weave, others like the softness of the satin. In the US, many types of sheeting are chemically finished to keep them smooth. Some consumers may prefer more natural options. In Israel and India, sheeting is machine calendared-which means it is smoothed in rollers. This type of finish wears longer than a chemical finish. So I think the difference may have been in the quality of cotton used and the method of finishing. I preferred the L&T sheets based on more "cottony" than "satiny" feel but that is just personal preference.

By Emmett E. Ahrens
They pilled up and were rough after only the second washing. Definitely not satisfied with the quality.

As soft as.... sandpaper. Jun 08, 2007
By jesse macs wife
I was so excited to purchase the 600 TC Sateen sheets! I couldn't wait for them to arrive, wash them, and put them on my bed. Much to my disappointment, however, these sheets are anything from soft and comfortable. It was like sleeping on the cheapest hotel sheets you can imagine. I've washed them at least a dozen times, using excessive amounts of fabric softener and dryer sheets to try and make them softer. I have not yet succeeded in that. The deal I got would have been impressive if only the sheets were worth what I paid. I wouldn't recommend these to anyone. Sorry.
