We received two sets of these towels, one set each of the hand and large bath towels. The quality seemed good until the bath towels were unfolded- one of the towels was full of snags, probably 15-20 on just one side. All were removed with scissors, and hopefully the towels hold up in the wash.

It seems like every towel you see these days is Egyptian cotton or extra plush or super absorbent. Not too many of them actually live up to their claims, so I was a bit suspicious of these at first but figured they were an inexpensive gamble.

These towels are great towels that don't wear down with repeated use. VERY soft, absorbent and comfortable, I definitely give these a thumbs up. You won't regret these!

I ordered 4 of these super size bath towels in the soft pink.These are by far some of the nicest towels I have found for this price! I also adore this pale pink color,it is wonderful if you have a shabby chic decor.I haven't washed these yet,I have them packed away to save for my new home,but I did check them for size and thickness.As for size they are wonderful!! They wrap around me about 1 and a half times,big enough if you have to make a quick run to the bedroom from the bath.They are quite thick and plush.I haven't yet washed but was surprised to see one person griping that they had lint in the dryer trap after drying them!!! What do you expect??? I have a chenille blanket I have had for years and even still when I dry it I get a trap full of lint!You won't have much lint with a cheap thin towel but you will most definetly have alot with a towel this plush.I give 5 stars for the size,the thickness and 5 stars for the wonderful soft pink color which is hard to find without flowers or something all over them!Waiting for the bath size with free washcloths to come back in stock!Hurry Please!!!!

Bought these towels awhile ago and they still look brand new! Holding up much better than expected. Would buy again in an instant!

... it leaves you a little wet. Why are most towels this way? After all, a towel is supposed to DRY you off.

I bought four of these towels in February 05. Only 10 months later the seams on all four have come apart and the towels are fraying. Had that not happened, they are still low quality cotton -- stiff, not soft, despite repeated washings and with small areas in which the color dye (mine are cinnamon) has washed away. I have had Martex towels before, but these are so shoddy that I suspect this is a new bargain line at a much lower quality level. In a word, they are junk. Amazon should know better.

It's a big yellow $10 towel. It dries things. If you need it to do more than that, it's probably not a towel you're after...

You can't beat the price and quality on these towels. They wash so nice and are so thick, nicer than my now shredding Ralph Lauren towels..

I'd have to disagree with the opinion that the price justifies the quality of these towels. A low quality value isn't a value.

I won't be returning them, as it would cost me more than *keeping* them. (That, as it was part of a get twenty-five off one-twenty-five incentive in kitchen and housewares, with the discount void if you return anything.) They'll probably give me a good 3 to 6 months before I have to relegate them to the "towels for protecting skin from hair dye and other industrial uses" pile, which is anything but my usual experience with the Martex brand. I'm surprised they'd put their name and their reputation on towels that lose loops and run just with the pressure of (carefully) removing the inspection tag. (Maybe trying to remove the tag should be part of that inspection!)
