WOW!!! these shed A LOT & I mean A LOT when I washed/dried them ! my dryer vent was overtaxed! I hope the quality of the towel is not reduced every time I wash them due to material loss. YIKES! These are already light in weight towels not heavy/dense/plush so I am a bit concerned about this.
That being said - I greatly appreciate it is a set of 10 w/ extra hand towels & wash cloths! &  tho' the color is not as 'gray' as appears in the shown advertisement picture and is more a midrange ash gray w/ almost an purple-ish undertone . They still work w/in my multi metal-colors scheme in a newly remodeled master-bath. The minimal shiny bronzish embellishment is very attractive & the towels add a visual element of understated elegance to complement the master-bathroom space when hung on the designated towel bar. They are soon to be washed/dried again & I am hoping that the advertised 'quality' holds up with ongoing use. ><shannon v>
