For the price, this set is an excellent value. I ordered these in white for our guest room; I especially like that the towels coordinate but are not exactly alike. This makes it easy for two people sharing a bathroom to easily keep their towels separate and avoid mix-ups. The only downside is that the towels shed like crazy the first time they are washed and dried so be sure to empty your dryer lint trap. Otherwise, they're very soft and plenty absorbent. Some reviewers complain that these towels are too thin, but I'd disagree. They aren't super plush like you might find at an expensive spa or hotel, but the certainly aren't threadbare as some suggest. Besides, I don't actually like super heavy towels as they never seem to dry out completely. These towels more than do the job and look more expensive than they actually are. I've had house-guests complement me on how much they like the coordinating patterns with subtle differences (no need for monograming!).
