The orange is a nice pop of color against our navy and charcoal linens, although I don't think is this really a burnt orange. The fabric breathes well without being see-through and the fitted sheet is snug enough that it does not bunch up or pull loose overnight. The pillow cases are gigantic, larger than standard king size from what I can tell. I have king size cases on my queen size pillows now, and these are nearly twice as long. The pillowcase pocket is about 5.5 inches deep, which is long enough to hold a big pillow in place. For the price, I think this is a good deal for a king size bed. The quality is good, the striping effect gives it texture and the polyester is cool to sleep on compared to cotton sheets.
