I purchased the sage-color shams--although this is no longer sold, you can see the color by viewing the matching bedskirt (MARRIKAS 300TC Egyptian Cotton KING Bed Skirt STRIPE SAGE). My husband and I were still using shams which matched an old comforter which we no longer owned, and we wanted an updated look.
These Sateen shams provided the modern, clean look we wanted, as they were one of the few products that we could find without ruffles or other frills. The shade of green was perfect to match the new quilt on our bed, and I love the subtle striped color variation. When I received the shams, they were packaged up and folded, so I had to iron them prior to placing them on the bed. We purchased the standard size, which works fine on our queen-sized bed (the pillows we use for the shams are standard-size pillows).
I have only a few very minor complaints. First, the fabric of the shams is fairly thin. This means that it does not hold its shape very well, both for spreading it across the front of the pillow and for standing up the ruffle. For the reason, it does NOT look quite like the photo; even though I starched the ruffle a bit when I ironed the sham, there is no way that it will stand up so neat as pictured here (although I somewhat expected this). Finally, the slit in the back to insert the pillow is off-center, which makes this task more difficult than if this had been centered (as it was with my old shams).
Overall, however, my husband and I are happy with our new shams, and we would recommend them.
Buy 300TC Sateen Stripe Pillow Sham Now
I recently purchased these pillow shams to go with a new comforter.The shade and color are perfect and match my new comforter perfectly. The only downside is that the material is very light and thin so you have to be careful when putting your pillows into the sham.These were the only "queen" size shams I could find online. They fit "standard/queen" size pillows perfectly and the fabric is very nice.Bought some new bed linens the other day and decided I wanted some pillow shams, This is a nice color, smooth and comfy. Washes up well. Will buy from these folks again. If fact I did use them again. See next review.
