Love the softness, weight and overall feel of these towels.  However, what they offer in luxury, they lack in overall size.  The description states that the towels measure 55" L x 30" W; after a warm water wash and tumble dry the towels now measure in at 52" L x 29" W.  I purchased these towels based on the overview and product details and am somewhat dismayed that they don't 'measure up'.  Still and all, they are among the nicest and most luxurious bath towels I have ever owned, particularly for the price.
