I just received these yesterday and washed them. So far, after one use, they seem to be okay from a softness and durability standpoint. I have to say that the Blue is MUCH DARKER than what is pictured. In fact, I would call it a dark blue, which is not exactly what I was looking for..but since I washed them already, I guess I am stuck. Pros: Nice ValueCons: Color is not what is appears on screen
