I just got these towels so  this review may be edited in a month or so. My observations so far is that they aren't thin as some reviews state but they are not as thick as the description makes them seem. They appear to be good (and soft) quality towels that are somewhere in the middle. After washing mine I noticed the weave is not as tight as it could be due to being able to see light through the material. I held a wash cloth in front of a window to show this in the picture. There weren't any color changes in the initial wash and the seams are still tight. Should that change I will update and add more pictures. They do produce more lint than my other towels but that could be because they are new. As far as absorbency I think they are spot on.  Overall, for now at least, I think this set was worth the price.
