Seconds Madeline Gray Plat laken

The gray shade is a perfect muted neutral, and the cotton feels substantial without being heavy. It's a seconds quality piece but I can't find a single flaw in the weave or finish, so the discount was a steal.

The stitching is neat and the cotton feels substantial without being heavy, which is exactly what I wanted for year-round use. Slightly disappointed there's no tag indicating which end is which, but the fabric quality makes up for that small oversight.

The gray is exactly the muted shade in the photos, and the premium cotton feels noticeably heavier and cooler than my old set. Sure, it’s a seconds quality item, but I can’t find any flaw after a few washes and it’s made in the USA, which sealed it for me.
