Appearance is nice ; went well w other towelsGorgeous towels. Very soft and large. No pilling after washingSo far these towels are great! The are very aesthetically pleasing! I washed one of the towels and dried it in the dryer on regular /normal settings. I have included two side by side pictures of the towels- the left side is washed and the right side is unwashed. As you can see the washed side looks great- maybe even better. Look at how fluffy the tassels are now- not tangled, matted or misshaped one bit! The towel did not lose any shape at all. As you can see from the pictures the edges are still nice and straight and lay flat! I was worried it might curl after washing, but thankfully that did not happen. The towel seems a bit more absorbent after washing as well. (From my research on Turkish towels this is normal to become more absorbent over time). Which is good because straight out of the package it is not super absorbent.The last picture is just a close up of the washed towels fabric.I am very happy with this order and can’t wait to purchase more!I ordered these to be for decoration, but I just love drying my hands on them lol they’re so soft and look so pretty in my bathroom. Highly recommend
