These seem to be be very nice towels but I've only laundered them once. The reason for 3 stars is the "silver" towels are not silver nor like the website shows. They are medium dark gray with a warm undertone. If you want a warm colored gray, you'll be fine but, if like me you want silver/cool gray in a lighter shade you'll be disappointed. Unfortunately, because I procrastinated, my company arrives Thursday and I don't have time to return/exchange. Pros: nice size, attractive and nicely priced. Cons: careful with any colors, some threads to trim.
