I bought these towels for my Son as he wanted a new blue set to match his bathroom. He likes that they are so thin, yet highly absorbing. The textured weaving is attractive. I have washed them several times and they have kept their shape and absorbency. The color has remained bright, and they clean well in cold water. I haven't noticed any pilling. The stitching has remained strong and fully intact. This is a super nice 6 piece set that has remained soft and lint free. So if you're looking for a good quality set of towels, I do recommend these. The price point is great as well.
