I bought a set of these towels seven years ago and they are just as nice today as they were seven years ago. I know, hard to believe, but true. When I needed a second set for a second bathroom, I was sure to track down the Royal Tradition bamboo towels because I was so happy with the first set. They arrived well packaged and my old first set is still nearly as soft and absorbent as the new second set. These are, by far, the best towels I have ever bought and I will keep buying them as long as they make them...if I need anymore, lol, since they seem to last forever! I only wish they came in a wider variety of colors, but I really like the taupe anyway.Incredibly softThe product is very soft. The color is very nice. It is similar to the image shown. The color does not bleed when washed and has not faded in any way. The towels are so absorbent and thick that it takes quite awhile for them to dry.Was advertised as sage green, but is more like mint green. Be careful if trying to match a rug. Haven't tried them yet, but they seem nice except for the color.My bright white towels are thick and soft after first washing. Only complaint was that on a hand towel and a face towel there were places where a dark color fiber had been woven into the white fibers.Color was a deeper green than shown on the website. Towels themselves are very nice and of high quality.I’ve washed them twice so far and they are still soft and fluffy! We switched to wool dryer balls instead of fabric softener sheets to help keep them nice. Absorbent and soft! I highly recommend!The towels are beautiful. I love the color and softness. They arrived in excellent condition and very fast.
