The towels received just over a week ago were all I could ever wish for in a towel. They absorb water like botting paper, wash and turn out like new and appear to dry extra quickly. All good points. The colour I chose was Orchid and lifted my bathroom to another level. I am in the later years of life and have used many, many towels and none has come anywhere near the quality of these. I was so delighted and ordered a second set in the colour Blue Cadet, another beautiful shade. I was very fortunate and got both sets at a sale price which is very welcome in these times. Needless to say I highly recommend.
