Even though these towels are not very plush, I still like them.  And I like the color we purchased (sand).   They washed up without a lot of lint, but are on the thin side.  A bit like a towel would be after several washes and six months of use.  And if it matters to you, the design at the edge of the towels is just on one end, the same end the tag is on.  But, yes, I would recommend these towels, but not if you’re looking for spa thickness.
