The color of this towel set was completely different than I had expected it to be.  The color is a light-medium blue.  Online it had looked much darker to me. The set is still in the paper, so I don't know about the softness etc.  The the weave of the towel does not look very tight or thick, but they could fluff up after a wash. unfortunately ,because of the color I will not be able to gift these towels to the person that had planned to use them for, and now an stuck with medium blue towels that do not go with any colors in my home!  next time I will be much more careful when ordering blues.       
  I will have to decide now if I will keep this these towels, gift them to someone or use them for dog towels. The order arrived in a timely manner, the packaging was a bit ripped up and so was the plastic wrap around the towels split on all sides but the towels all appear to be intact.  I would probably order these in another color if I needed towels because of the super price point.
