Maybe I received a bad batch.... I was so excited to get these towels in blue for my son's bathroom and they arrived a day early too.  I immediately laundered them separately by  their color scheme and each set of three came out of the washer full of lint balls. I put them in the dryer hoping the lint balls would come off and they were just stuck on. I tried heavy duty tape, lint brush, a lint machine, and ended up picking them off one by one. Took me over 3 hours.  Once on the rack they look beautiful, prettier than the photo, but I noticed as I was plucking off each lint ball that the fabric looked weak like it would not be able to handle another washing. They are not for everyday use, I would say they are strictly for decoration, but still they need laundered once in a while. On the flipside, Wayfair does have outstanding customer service!
