I ordered the Lake color and it just came and it is actually light blue and looks nothing like the color depicted. I am sending this sheet back since if I wanted light blue I would have ordered light blue. I have not opened the package so I cannot comment on the quality. I am very disappointed because I really wanted this sheet in the color I saw on the internet. I even got back on the internet to verify the color I ordered and it did not look like the sheet I received.
I bought 2 sets based on the Consumer Reports review. They seem durable, well made and feel crisp, BUT THEY WRINKLE VERY BADLY. I launder them with liquid fabric softener and a dryer sheet, but they still have to be ironed.
I would not buy them again because I hate to iron. I like the crisp feel and sturdiness, but for me it is not worth the work! If you think ironing is life fulfilling, then go for them! Otherwise, nix them!
I found a non-iron sheets at a competitor that are well made and need no ironing, but they are not as crisp. I wish LL Bean could make an easier care version of this sheet.
For a couple of decades I have been searching for the current equivalent of the venerable, no longer available Wamsutta Supercale sheets, at a reasonable price. Although not made in the USA, these percale sheets are the closest I've found to have that crisp feel, particularly if I take the time to iron them (yes, really!). Try them if you prefer plain 100% cotton without a "satin" finish.
Loved these sheets had them since 2011, but the fitted sheet just tore right down the middle, will be sending this back and hopefully the next one will last longer. I will admit that these are my favorite sheets so they were used probably more than the normal person would.
