I've been looking for a monogram set of towels since Christmas and I came upon these at the perfect time because my husband and i's anniversary came up and I decided to take a chance on buying a set of these.Now I say I took a chance because of the fact that in my research and from all of my looking during the holidays, towels of this specialty variety tend to be lower in quality regardless of thread count or material. It just seems like they're thinner and not actually meant where everyday use as much as they're met for the novelty of the situation and to be put on display, which is understandable.So on receiving these and quickly unpackaging them before my husband got home from work so I could surprise him. I was relieved and surprised to find that while these are a great gift item in a sort of niche market - They're also pretty good quality.I have to say pretty good because for my own standards and tastes in what I prefer for a bathroom town, I prefer something a lot thicker and heavier but that's just my preference. These towels are of a thickness, durability and quality that they can easily be used every day comfortably and also be put on display as they're meant to be.That's usually something hard to find. Let's face it when you're getting something personalized, It's mass produced and so the item itself doesn't tend to get as much care as the personalization aspect does.Now that said, in this case the manufacturer and buyers obviously knew what they were doing when they created these for sale because they found a nice quality towel with a fabric that could stand the test of time. But yet it was gentle and special enough to be decorative as well.I've had these towels now for about 3 months and we have used them at least every other week in incorporating them into our usual towels. So if one's being washed it's not being used but they're in rotation and after 3 months they still are in brand new condition.They've had countless washings and we're talking about two big and tall guys here using them day in and day out and they're very durable. They look amazing and as much as I do not care for white towels and I'm not a person to buy a lot of fabrics that are light colored or whites, especially in the way of something you are going to get dirty. I just am surprised that I liked these as much as I do. I actually don't mind that they're white and this is coming from a guy whose favorite color is black.Just a funny observation. All that said, I have to say I highly recommend these and I think they would make a perfect gift for anyone that you're looking to give something a little extra special too.
