Mainstays 4 Pack Solid Black Napkin Set - 18 in x 18 in - 100% Cotton

Got these for Christmas dinner and they were great and loved the color. I washed them and some thread was coming off but nothing too bad. Definitely something you can’t wash every other day.

Soft natural fiber materials make this the best I've purchased in years. Quality for the price unbeatable. Nothing to dislike! The fringe is just the right length, easy to wash instructions and color as described.

Awesome Fringed napkins really stand out! They're lightweight and easily laundered.

I have used cloth napkins for many years and have tried all sorts of variety. I have tried every type of material you can think of and every size available. I think after all these efforts I have finally found the perfect combination in these Mainstays cloth napkins. First of all when I mentioned size I was acting like there are all kinds of different sizes but this 18" x 18" square napkin size is really a standard within an inch or two. It is for good reason too because it is just the right amount of napkin. Some restaurant style are bigger but to me they are not practical on a daily basis. I first started out buying polyester napkins but could never get used to that plastic feel. They just feel cheap and I have never found ones that were sufficiently absorbent. Napkins you use on a daily basis are used for a lot more than patting at your mouth to wipe crumbs. They are used to mop up spills at the table or on the floor for that matter. You really need to have an absorbent material. For me this ruled out the 100% polyester napkins. I tried different blends next and had varying success. I started to realize that the blends with more cotton were my favorites, which led me to finding higher and higher cotton content. Which as I am sure you have begun to predict leads me to these napkins we are reviewing here. I had steered far and clear of 100% cotton napkins because I fear the iron! Well, I don't know what it is about these but they do not get all wrinkly like I had feared. Even the polyester ones got some wrinkling but these really were not even any worse than that. For my situation where I am just trying to find an everyday answer to avoiding disposable napkins, these work perfectly. I will be buying several more sets!

love the color material good quality decent price will go great with my honey bee dishes and placemats

Nice quality full size good looking Was a surprise quality for cotton. Is usually like muslin not these

The fabric of these napkins is a nice-quality tight weave, and the size is more than ample for a dinner napkin. The napkins are soft enough to the touch, and absorbency is very good. They do everything that a good dinner napkin should do. Unfortunately, when I launder them (in accordance with instructions), they come out of the dryer seriously wrinkled. They're 100% cotton, so wrinkles have to be expected -- but these wrinkles are too much to just be smoothed out by hand. Steam ironing is absolutely required.

These napkins are a good color and fabric,but they fray like crazy!

The napkins are okay for the price. However, the sides unravel badly when washing them.

I don’t appreciate how all the picture of pictures are cropped to look like ithe edges are sewn solid. Only in the last picture can you make out the fringe/ fray. Strings everywhere. Avoid
