I've used these Madison Park towel for over a week now and I love them.  They are as soft as they say and even better after getting washed.  Both sides of the towels absorb very well unlike some towels that have patterns or prints on one side.  They have a nice length to them and I like the weave pattern.  They look good in my bathroom!   They would make a great gift for weddings or new homes.  I would recommend them to all.
