I got them for a guest bathroom in my summer home and I think they'll be fine. Though I don't think Polyester absorbs particularly well, it is a cheaper fiber to use for a lower priced product. So you get what you pay for. And though I'm no fan of unnatural fabrics, I don't care so much about the absorption for my feet, and as long as it's soft and non-slip and 'pretty' for the guest, it's fine.
