It is impossible to know how a towel set is going to "feel" from a picture and printed description.  These looked good and the info led me to believe that they were good quality.  When I got them I was pleasantly surprised.  They were just as the info said they would be but even better quality.  All of the items are large and thick but soft and very absorbent.  I would definitely recommend this towel set and will probably order more for myself.
