Purchased bath sheets, hand towels and face clothes in taupe to go into our new second bathroom. The bath sheets are very large which would be perfect for someone who is tall. Like other comments when I opened up the parcel the material seemed thin, but once washed fluffed up nicely. Bath sheet didn't absorb water, but I have experienced that with other towels. I would expect after a couple of washes the towels absorbency will improve.
