Update: June 2010
Note: In 2006, I gave these towels one-star; when I revised the review in 2010, I wanted to increase the rating to three stars. Apparently, there is a technical problem that is preventing me from making the change. Sorry–it should show three stars!
I bought these towels in February 2006 and almost returned them immediately. When I opened the cellophane package, the towels reeked of something that smelled like insecticide. I washed them all immediately, and after the bad smell was gone, I just loved how they felt. They reminded me of soft, fluffy, oversized hotel towels. In our household, we have used these towels almost daily, and they’ve received regular washing.
In my original one-year review, I was disappointed that some of the towels were showing signs of inferiority: edges had frayed on some and on others, the soft nap seemed to have disappeared.
But others pieces have remained in pretty good shape. So after over four years, I’m still getting good use from these, and except for my initial displeasure with the packaging noted above, I’ve been pretty satisfied.

My wife and I really like Egyptian cotton towels. We were excited by Amazon’s sale and took a chance. These towels are very soft. A huge plus! Unfortunately they lack absorbency qualities. The towel feels cold as we dry off and the water does not feel like it is being absorbed. Wet and cold is not a good feeling in the morning! We do not use dryer sheets or any type of detergent product that would coat the towels. As for pricing, we did NOT get a super saver discount as promised in Amazon’s advertising but were attracted to the initial sale price. All in all, we will not buy this towel again.

These are beautiful, soft towels at a great price. Unfortunately, they lost color in splotches immediately after being used a few times. I washed the towels in warm water with Cheer detergent, and the pale green color had a tinge of orange in places. I have never had this problem with other towels. I was planning to use these as special towels for the guest bathroom, but now they will “hide” in our bathroom, since they are still wonderfully absorbent and nice to touch, but they look awful. I was quite disappointed, but at least they were cheap!

I placed 5 orders at twenty bucks each, for a total of 10 sets of towels (that’s ten bucks a set). While the towels seemed soft, I returned them. The problems:
1) TERRIBLE SMELL. The towels had a strong, terrible petro-chemical smell to them. My husband thought it was fertilizer. I washed them several times with detergent using a vinegar rinse. The smell subsided but it was still there.
2) POOR FINISH. The finish, fabric, and edges are not a quality job. There are tufts of fabric in most towels, and loose weaves in the middle. If you pull or snip the thread, you are effectively creating a hole in the towel. (See other reviews reporting holes & shreds after use.)
3) TOO MANY FLAWS. I had 10 sets of towels — of these, nine bath towels had some flaw that was noticeable after washing & drying. The flaws are initially hard to spot when the towels arrive because they are flat and densely packed. But after wash and inspection, flaws are noticeable. (And I didn’t have to look very hard.)
I was left with the impression that the towels are seconds.

They faded which didn’t really bother me. What DID bother me is that it’s impossible to wash out the smell of the dye. I could smell the dye even when the towels were in a different room than I was in.
Also, they are non-absorbent.
I finally threw the whole set in the garbage.
