I liked the looks of the towel. I ordered it for my mom as a christmas gift. I just got them today in the mail and although they have not been used yet to see how good they are. I am a little disappointed in the thickness of the towel. The demensions are standard among dish towels but the towel is not as thick as most are. So I am assuming that they will not hold much water. But we will have to see though. I do think that at $21.00 for a set of 6 is a bit over priced!
