I am very picky when it comes to quality items. I expect to get what is promised and these towels deliver! First: These dish towels look classy in my kitchen, which is important when you see them in the kitchen or are having guests over. I love the subtle stripes with both the grey and white striped towels and they go with almost any decor.Second: They are super absorbent for big or small spills. You can literally soak it in water, wring the water out, lay the dish towel on a flat surface and the entire towel dries relatively quickly; then it's good to reuse it. This is especially important so you don't have to go through all the towels when you have a spill, reducing the amount of laundry you need to do. They can handle more water or liquid than any other dish towel I have ever owned.Third: They are extremely soft but very durable. I washed them all ( a couple of towels several times) to check the durability and to see if the color would fade. There is no shrinkage and they are still very soft and look brand new., no fading at all. I have only had to use two of these towels in rotation due to the quick absorption rate and how fast they dry out and one over the handle bar of the stove. The rest are in the drawer waiting to come out to be used.Overall, I highly recommend these Microfiber Kitchen Towels to put over the handle bar on your stove as an added decor (which I did) or to wipe your hands on while cooking on the range top, to use at the kitchen sink ( where I mostly use these) and you can even use them at the bathroom sink to dry hands if you want too. I would snatch these towels up while they are still available and you shouldn't need to buy any other new kitchen towels for a very long time.
