Hi!USAGE: Main bathroom, daily use towelsTIME: One week at time of reviewThey are very large and quite soft, and definitely thin (as expected of bath sheets) but without feeling flimsy. But I was disappointed on first use as they were sticking to me and it was a pain to get dry. But then I tried using the large size of the towel to wrap various parts of my body and then "patting" to dry... just wrapping the towel around, say, my whole leg, pressing it once, and removing it. And now I'm dry. It's very quick and very effective! Same goes for the hand towel—just pat it to dry your hands off. And as someone whose hair soaks up water and stays very wet for hours after a shower, I love how much this absorbs from my hair. So once I swapped my mindset from my usual "rub the towel around to dry off" to "wrap and pat dry", I realized I loved these and now will probably never go back to "regular" bath towels.COLOR/PATTERN: Quite accurate to the photos (accounting for monitor differences). I got green and it's a very pretty, fresh green without being too bright. And the pattern is subtle so it doesn't jump out at you, which is what I was looking for.SIZE: Since they are sheets, they're an awkward size for folding and displaying on a towel rack since you have to fold them over a few times... but you can make it work by just pulling as much to the front as you like. You can also choose which side to display since they're different (see thickness section below).THICKNESS: Again, they're quite thin overall. When pulling them out of the washer, I could see through some parts of the pattern when held up to the light (and was concerned), but when dry, they're fluffed enough that these spots are covered and not noticeable. We'll see if that affects durability over time. But the other thing to note is that one side of the sheet is flatter/low pile while the other is fluffier and more dense. I haven't noticed much of a difference when using them to dry off, but it does make a difference when displaying them. If you fold flat side out, they look sleeker overall on the rack. If you fold fluffy side out, they look thicker and more spa like. So it just depends on what you're going for!ABSORBENCY/DRYING: Yeah, soaks everything right up. And with that, I was afraid they wouldn't dry very well since you have to fold them over a few times to hang on the rack, but they dried very fast. Faster than my regular towels! (I had the Charisma towels from Costco and they're nice but take a while to dry.)WASHING: I washed them before first use. They didn't have very much shedding or lint in the dryer trap and they didn't appear to shrink at all. Will update again if anything changes with future washes.VALUE: Given the sets I was looking at in comparison, I'd say these are great towels at a great price. I expected this purchased would be the "cheap" route for the 8-set as a holdover until I found some very high quality towels in the color I wanted. Instead, I'm very likely going to just keep using these... assuming they hold up. We'll see!
