When I look at some of the positive reviews of this product, I wonder what these people were comparing these towels against. Martex makes a VERY large cross-section of towels found in most all stores under a multitude of brand names. This particular line seems to be a low-end one and one that uses Supima cotton fibers that are not as fine as good Egyptian cotton ones. The cotton loops on this towel are small, not nearly as fine as good Egyptian cotton and the towel itself doesn't have a good heft/fluffiness to it (seems thin and for lack of a better word, "Wal-Marty". If you want a great quality product for the same price, search for the "Famous Maker Washcloth 2-Pack" made by GRAND PATRICIAN, right here on Amazon. I ordered both brands at the same time and the difference between the two is like night and day. Make sure that the Grand Patrician ones mention "100% Egyptian fine extra-long staple cotton" in the description. That is your assurance that you are getting the finer line product, not yet another low-end line product such as this Martex Altier. This is important since the actual brand/contents of the "Famous Maker" towel products can change with time. Also, the list price on the Grand Patrician is noted as being lower than that for this Martex product but don't let that fool you. I still gave the Martex 2-stars since it is not a bad value in and by itself. But it is an atrocious choice if you also have the option of the Egyptian cotton Grand Patrician ones from Amazon at the same price.

I am very pleased with this product. The Atelier wash is soft, absorbent and looks good after laundry. I have always found the Martex brand to be top quality.

Although these are not #1 Quality towels, for the money, they are absolutely fabulous! Soft, rich and absorbent. Very nice quality and I've had many compliments on them. A couple of the reviews said "low quality" "Wal-marty", not true! These towels do not stiffen, fray, etc. With every wash the softness gets better and better. I can't afford the "rich people" towels, but I think these sure do come close!

These have to be seconds. Soon as I opened the packages.. I ordered 10 packages with 2 each inside I noticed frayed edges... a immediate ut oh to me. The seams aren't sewn smoothly all the way around there are strings hanging.Looked closer and the tags on them weren't in uniform spots. For the price I thought I would give them a shot so I washed them as advised by the manufactor before using. They came out of the washer and dryer as in different colors. A bad dye lot I guess. These washclothes ARE soft so thats why I gave them one star, however, they are badly sewn and I expected much more from Martex quality than this. Buyer beware.

THESE WERE THE BEST WASH CLOTHS I HAVE EVER PURCHASED, EXCEPT FOR THE BAND AROUND THEM. BUT THEY WERE SO SOFT, YOU DIDN'T MIND THE BAND. UNFORTUNATELY THEY ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE

the color in the clothes are bright and do not fade easily; thick and heavy. great clothe

The washcloths are "ok" but I was really expecting a

thicker more absorbent washcloth that holds a lot of

soap while in the shower. Good for the money I guess.

The towels are as soft as advertised, but that's it. The towels are much smaller than advertised. I ordered grey, but received tan. I can't use them with my grey bathroom!

My bathroom is all in purple/reddish/beige, so I've been looking for quality towels, washcloths for quite a while. I finally found them. Thanks Amazon! Only problem was delivery: I guess I was lucky nothing dropped out of the box as it was all torn. The carrier was FedEx, I believe...Bad delivery business, but the product was intact.

The washcloths themselves are fine, but they aren't even close to being "berry." Dusty rose, perhaps, or mauve, but certainly not berry. The washcloths I received don't even look close to the picture.
