Have a year ago the first Bierbaum mako satin bed linen ordered through Amazon and I was excited about it. However, this is can not be compared. The material is much harder, as if it were printed. But In addition the biggest disappointment: the references were sewn totally wrong. I thought while ironing on, what's going on? But then I noticed the mistake. One long side was much shorter and thus the whole reference was warped. Since I had of course 2 x ordered (for a double) I looked at the other reference before ironing - unfortunately with the same result. I had ordered the sheets in this promotion by early February 2015. Whether it is because it is an inferior quality, I hope not. Amazon brought me immediately a new shipment on the way and take the course without hesitation "crooked" linen back. This works perfect! Now I just hope that the new covers without these defects.
