Cute kitchen towels but not very absorbent. The back feels like a soft fuzzy blanket....not absorbent terrycloth like you would expect.Now that I have been using them for While and they have been washed quite a bit I thought I would provide a review. They are really very pretty and the velcro works very well. The only downside is they are very very thin. Now, this might be ok for you however I prefer a nice thick towel to dry my hands. They are nice and soft as well but not very absorbent, really better for decoration only. Next time I will see if I can find a thicker brandThese are really cute and absorbent, BUT they are smaller than they looked in the advertising photos.It was a gift for my sister. She said she loves it.Too soft. Such a soft nasty feeling my daughter and I don’t like touching them. Seem fairly durable. I’d not recommend.well made and so beautiful you almost feel bad using them.I like the pattern very lovely.It did absorb very well.I just wish it would of been some what thicker.Loved the product Xmas gift
