Customer Reviews:

Soft, but pilled badly [Posted on 2008-08-21]
They were beautiful out of the package, and comfortable after the first washing, but by the second, they began to pill. It's tolerable, but not what I would have expected from the thread count.

Made in China. and no thread count info [Posted on 2008-08-22]
Anyone noticed that the thread count that is advertised on the amazon website is not to be seen anywhere on the product? Or did I just happen to order all the sheets that do not show this number anywhere. I ordered the 440 thread count white herringbone Pinzon King sHEET SET & right now after one wash I am not sure if this is cotton anymore. Anyone feel the same way? Do you know where I can verify the thread count?Is amazon ripping the customer off? Bring on all your opinions

Soft to sleep on, but scratchy on the face [Posted on 2008-08-26]
The sheets were soft with the higher thread count, but the pattern made the pillow cases scratchy on our faces, even after washing. I would not buy them again.

Scratchy, not sateen at all. [Posted on 2008-08-29]
I've purchased sateen sheets of 400+ thread count before and all were softer than the set I just purchased. These were rougher than even my cheap percale 200 thread count sheets. I purchased them in hopes of providing soft, luxury sheets for house guests and instead, I was embarrassed to use them, opting for my older but softer sheets. The stars are for the dark platinum color and herringbone, which is pretty.

But wow, everything from the fitted sheet to the pillow cases is rough like sandpaper.

Not luxurious, not soft [Posted on 2008-09-29]
I bought the champaigne colored sheet set, and I am disappointed.
Both before and after the wash the fabric is scratchy, doesn't have a sateeny sheen at all (it is matte), doesn't have a soft luxurious feeling I expected from 440-thread count sheets. Came out of the drier very wrinkled. Does fit a regular queen mattress very well.
Will keep it for the guest bedroom.
