I wanted to love these bath towels. The pictures and reviews on other websites were all positive. I bought 4 and ended up returning the 2 unused towels. They are not soft, I don't like the high/low pattern to the towel. They never dry completely during the colder months. I'm using the resining 2 towels I have now that it is summer. They dry by the time we use them the next morning, but they still remain rough feeling. I'ver tried fabric softener and no luck making these work. They look nice. I do not recommend these.
