I'm so pleased with these towels.  My husband and I differ in our towel preference.  He likes them thin and I like them soft.  These towels are right smack in the middle.  The waffle design is very pretty combined with the soft, solid, thick bottom border.  I chose the gray and it's the perfect gray color, not too dark or too light.  I wouldn't hesitate to get other colors of these once our other towels wear out.
