I would prefer to give these towels a 4.5 rating, because I feel they deserve more than 4 stars, but less than 5. First, as others have pointed out, these bath "sheets" are really just a little larger than regular towels. The length is comparable to a bath sheet, but the width is exactly the same as most towels. However, I don't feel this is too big of a problem since the dimensions are clearly disclosed. Plus, the value of this product is excellent so I feel that it is more than fair that the towels are a little smaller than a true bath sheet.
While it is not the worlds best towel, it is absolutely the best towel you will get without spending at least $$% more. Even more expensive towels can only offer a slight improvement. There isn't a whole lot of things to improve on, the towels look and feel very nice and luxurious. For example, $$ *********** ******** bath sheets are a bit bigger and slightly higher quality. The quality (workmanship/durability) of these towels appears to be around 4 stars. They look/feel well made, but I have seen less luxurious towels that appear more durable. Overall, these are awesome towels in terms of comfort and function and they are priced very nicely in terms of the quality and design versus similarly priced towels.
