The background music is too loud. It should have been dialed lower so as to not drown out the speakers. And that text thrown up on on the screen is way too small to be legible on a smartphone.

DONT TRUST THIS COMPANY
I bought two Percale Core sheet sets in “Cloud” directly from Brooklinen. At first, the skunky chemical smell seemed to fade after a few washes, until one pillowcase got mixed into my laundry. That’s when the scent spread and started ruining my clothes.

Despite deep-cleaning my washer, using vinegar, baking soda, Oxi soaks, and air drying, I couldn’t get the smell out. I’ve had to throw away hundreds of dollars worth of sensory-safe basics: hoodies, tees, undies, socks, all ruined.

Brooklinen refunded the sheets but won’t cover anything else. I’ve lost close to $1, 000 in clothing because of this.

If you’re sensitive to smells or care about your wardrobe, stay away. These sheets are a chemical nightmare.
