I have been on the search for the soft and thickest towel I can find. I can across the reviews for these towels and put them in my cart. I missed two sales these sat in my cart for so long as I painstakingly searched every on line retailer out there for the best lush, soft and absorbent towels. I finally came back to these and placed my order, not even on sale! The package arrived and it seemed small for 4 thick towels, I assumed they were vacuum packed in there. However I was wrong, the ones I received are paper thin! These cannot be the towels everyone is raving about.  I am totally shocked and am returning immediately. I did give these one star because the color is nice.
