We order these blind from our trusted Great Offer Stock.com. I was anxious to see how these towels played out -- but WOW. They easily weigh twice as much as the ---------- towels that we purchased and are twice as absorbent. These beauties are great big, soooo soft and absorbent, i would count them well above and beyond the luxury hotel towels that these might be compared to. We just stayed at a high end hotel here in Durham and, frankly, these towels are fluffier, more substantial, much softer and bigger than those put out by the ** icon. No snagging or shedding so far, although we'll live with a little of that to have these towels at hand. Highly recommend. Thank you Great Offer Stock for your honesty in advertising for this item!!
July 2016 Update
I am sorry to say that these towels haven't aged very well. They absorb nicely but don't come out of the dryer soft and fluffy. In fact, they clearly are not soft. Am disappointed, as they already look like they need to be replaced. I would now rate these towels a 3.
