Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I, too was disappointed at first by the lack of absorbency of these towels. But I thought they were so pretty and of such high quality that I decided to try washing them several times before using them. Even after a few cycles of hot water and a hot dryer, they were better, but still not as absorbent as I'd have liked. But that was over a year ago, and I have washed them many times since then. They are still as beautiful as ever, but have now become very soft and quite absorbent. I am about to order 2-3 more sets. If you like the looks of these and have the patience to break them in, I would highly recommend these dish towels. UPDATE in response to reviewer M. Koncar who was concerned about wrinkles and the appearance of the towels: Please see my attached photo. This is what the towels look like after over a year of being used and laundered. They are not wrinkle-free -- as in, they don't look as if they have been ironed. But the colors are vibrant, the wrinkles are minor, and they are extremely soft and absorbent. I love them and I stand by my review.
