I bought 10 of these towels (5 packs) and was very pleased when I received them. They are nice and large, and of good quality. They feel like good, expensive towels, not the cheap ones you can find for a few dollars from various sources.

I read some of the negative reviews for these towels but bought them anyway simply because the price was too good to pass up. I'm glad I did and feel compelled to give these towels a positive review! The towels came in shrink wrapped so the towels were a little squished when I got them but I didn't see any quality issues. They even had "inspected by" stickers. I washed them immediately and they came out of the dryer fluffy and very soft. Yes, there was some lint in the trap but not more than would be expected for a new towel. They're a big soft towel at a great price!

I'm not a picky person. A few loose threads, or uneven seams I could live with. I cannot live with towels that just fall apart. A slight pull on any of the loops and they come right out into your hand. These will disintegrate in less than a month of normal use. I have never returned anything to Amazon before, these are all going back.

I thought I was getting a great deal on these and purchased 5 sets, needless to say the other reviews are 100% on the mark. These towels are pure junk, I'm very disappointed that Amazon would peddle inferior products like these towels. Needless to say these are going back on Amazon's dime....

I just finished washing a set of these towels and the cotton is pilling. There are little bits of cotton everywhere. I am very surprised this happened since I have purchased Martex supima cotton towels for years. The colors are beautiful and the fabric is soft, but the towel is useless if I am covered with cotton bits when I dry off.

I wish I had read the other reviews before I made my purchase. These towels are not anywhere near the quality I expect from a manufacturer like Martex. I could only assume they are seconds or irregulars. They are going back asap.

If you are looking for a great deal and a basic towel you should not pass these up. Other customers have commented on the quality. You can find this brand of towel in every major department store and chain so I am also surprised these customers had never seen this brand before. You get what you pay for. If you want a luxury towel, as these people must have, you need to consider the Grand Patrician or Christy line.

The price for these towels was so low that for once I did not wait to read the reviews before ordering. Later, when I read the negative reviews, I felt the deepest pangs of buyer's remorse, especially, since the prospect of high return shipping cost loomed large over my head. Now that I have received the towels, I am so happy I did not read the negative reviews. Not too long ago, I ordered towels (from another site) listed at $120 per set discounted to $60 (how lucky) and the only thing good about them, when I actually received them, was the motif embroidered on top. (Of course, I promptly returned them, eating the outrageous shipping cost.) These towels are very plain to look at (pretty colors though) but in terms of qualities that matter, thickness, abosorbency, size, these towels are far superior to the overpriced fancy looking stuff meant only to look pretty on a towel rack. Best value for money.

I have just received these towels & am VERY pleased w/ the quality.

I have washed them & used them. These towels are an excellent value, they are thick & plush as described. The color has not changed & i do not get the pilling as others have described. I am actually buying more for myself & my mother & sister as well.

These towels are great! I was surprised how large they are, but it's been a while since I bought towels, maybe all new towels are really big. These towels are so absorbent, it's hard to tell when they've been used because the water just seems to disappear. And soft, soft, soft...brand new out of the box they feel great. Again, they're big, so a litle heavy, but they are wonderful. These are an amazing bargain and feel very luxurious. I don't know what towels those other reviewers said resulted in fuzzies, they must have been referring to another product, these towels are awesome, no fuzzies, they are very well made.

I ordered multiple sets of all three offerings: Bath, Wash and Hand towels in Supima. While the cotton is fairly soft, the quality of the towels is horrendous. The edges have extra thread, the ends of the towels do not synch, etc., etc. I tried to make a go of it -- cutting loose threads and deciding that most of them would be salvageable. Big mistake. They all should have gone back immediately. You will be embarassed to show these to guests, and based on my first washing, they won't last very long even in their present condition. I agree with the poster who thought these were perhaps not first-run: my set had some with "inspected by" stickers, and I'm afraid that some second runs and "imperfects" (to use a generous term) that should have gone to an outlet store somehow made it to Amazon. This reflects horribly on Martex, and quite badly on Amazon. The unfortunate people who bought these should be contacted regarding such a poor product sold as first-rate.
