I have bought about 6 sets of these towels in white only. I'd love to try one of the colors, but none of the available colors really go well in my house. I've been very happy with them. There are a few stubborn stains that I haven't been able to get out, but for the price, I can live with it. No issues with seams ripping after repeated washings on white cycle, and I have used bleach a couple of times (since they are white.) Can't speak to the problems with blotching and fading, but I love how soft and absorbent they are. And I love not paying an arm and a leg for a decent feeling, large towel. I looked at Walmart just for the washcloths, because my store was out of the white, and one washcloth was about $8! These were 2/$4.

Plush quality towels

Bought six bath sized towels in the color Brownstone and they all wouldn't stop shedding. I washed them twice following the wash directions in hopes that it would be better on the second wash, it was worse. My lint trap in my dryer got stuck and I had to pry it out with a screwdriver because of all the thread/lint fuzz coming off the towels. When I returned them I asked the worker who was helping me if these get returned often, they said no. So, maybe I got a bad bunch? I wouldn't personally buy these again, but you might have better luck than I did.

Good

Bath towels are big!

Love these big and soft

Nice and fluffy

I bought these towels about two weeks ago and they are very thick. Oversized they are not, since they are only a standard width (30") but they are slightly longer than what is average. The biggest problem, and why I gave them only 4 out of 5 stars is that nearly 18" is wasted in the decorative stitching, leaving both ends nearly useless for wiping your face when you wrap yourself while getting dried off. Maybe a lot less attention to "style" and more attention to functionality would have been appropriate from the consumer's point of view and use.
