GILDEN TREE Waffle Towel Set Quick Dry Thin | 2 Bath Towels | 2 Hand Towels | 2 Washcloths, Classic Style (Cream)

I could not be more pleased with these towels. I bought a bath set in indigo and the color is beautiful. While thin, these These towels are very well made and deliver on all points -- absorbent, soft yet also a tad exfoliating, quick drying. I like the way they feel on my skin. I haven't washed them yet, but expect this to go well with some shrinkage (which is ok because they are LARGE). My hubby hasn't commented, which means they are working for him. We recently became full-time RV-ers, so needed something more suitable than our thick terry towels. I don't feel like I gave up anything, and gained the smaller footprint and quick-dry features. Highly recommend.

The towels are a good size when washed and fluff out some. They are thinner than traditional towels but have almost no fuzz and dry really fast. I ordered more after I washed and used the first set

I first experienced these towels at a resort, and was delighted to find them available on Amazon for about half the price the resort offered in their gift shop. I have always used terry towels in the past, and would never have thought to try waffle weave. They are my new favorite: super absorbent, dry quickly, launder beautifully, and the colors work well for me. They are very generously sized, even after the shrinking that is to be expected with the first wash. They do not shrink after that. The first wash is what allows the waffle weave to really pop into 3-D, and I love that texture. Another reviewer mentioned a ruffling at the ends after washing. I think this slight texture difference is intended as part of the decorative weaving detail of the border. Personally, I find it an enhancement. I have now bought four sets: 1 white, 2 pewter, 1 sea foam, and have donated my terry towels to a women's shelter.

Great quality! Would have been 5 stars except one of the hand towels having a streak of dark grey dyed fabric in a line on it. Not able to use that one. The quality is good soft enough for first wash very nice.

These towels are as flat, thin, rough, and unfluffy as the day I received them, even after several washings. They are definitely quick-dry and thin.

My husband and I love these towels because they are pretty, dry quickly, and are lightweight. We ditched our super fluffy and heavy towels that we bought from Brooklinen because they would just never dry if we left them on the towel hook overnight. We care more about the towels being dry than being soft/fluffy. If you need fluff then these might not be for you. We love the different colors and have two sets for our master bath. Will keep buying these for sure.

I can't complain about the way they were presented on line because it did say they were thin and they are! They do dry fast, so if you live close to the beach (which we do) they don't get stinky after a day. Unfortunately, although I did everything they say to do, they are NOT soft. My husband says they use these towels at a car wash to dry the cars and since they don't shed, we should use them to clean house. I definitely would not give them to guests. And.....I have traveled extensively and I don't recall seeing these towels all over Europe in fancy spas. I would not buy them again.

I LOVE these towels! I’ll admit I was a bit skeptical, given that they’re relatively thin compared to the thick, high GSM (and expensive!) plush towels that we were replacing. But these towels absorb water like a vacuum! I’m a big, rather fuzzy guy. I would towel off after a shower and always remain somewhat damp. No longer. After a quick towel-off with these, I am completely dry! The other nice thing, is that they give up this moisture quickly as well. Our old thick towels were often still be a bit damp the next day. Not these - they’re completely dry and ready to go, just like they came out of a clothes dryer. I can’t recommend these enough!
