I replaced all of the towels in my house with these based reviews and the value. I chose a less expensive towel set, because two of my kids use products with Benzoyl Peroxide, and I didn't want to cry every time I lost a towel to their cleansers! The set has two regularly sized bath towels with FOUR hand towels and FOUR washcloths, which is more hand towels and washcloths than I need, but that's a decent problem to have. Because I ordered so many, when I stack them I can see very slight discolorations in the vanilla colored towels, some are uniformly lighter, but in a smaller set it would be unnoticeable. I washed these and dried them with fabric softener. My husband said he thought the towels didn't absorb very well, but that might be the fabric softener, which I'll leave out next time. These are medium weight, regular sized, excellent value bath towels, but if you're looking for a heavy, luxurious, 'master bath' towel, I might push your price point a little!
