I was in the market for gray bath rugs, and wanted something a bit less "ordinary."  I really, really wanted to love these rugs--I bought the runner, shower mat, and toilet rug.  Unfortunately, these are fairly disappointing.  They are VERY thin--no plushness whatsoever.  They crush quickly after washing or vacuuming.  Although I do like the ruffle feature, I wouldn't purchase these again.  The set fit the bill because they came in the dimensions that I needed.  Unfortunately, they also slide all over as they have no backing, so they are thin AND need an anti-slip liner.   Can't win them all, I guess.
