Tools and Hardware Reviews of Pike Street 100-Percent Egyptian Cotton 725-Gram 6-Piece Towel Set, Bluestone
Customer Review: Fluffy and soft but not absorbent
Summary: 3 Stars
My girlfriend and I bought these towels in bluestone along with a bunch of other bath accessories for our new apartment.
We've had these towels for a week and they are very soft and have not lost any colour (as some of the other reviews claim). However, they are not very absorbent. My old towels which come from target soak up a lot more water than these do.
One lady mentioned the following washing instructions for the towels:
Wash in warm water without adding any fabric softener.
This seems to have helped because after the second washing the towels did get more absorbent.
Other reviews mention loose fibres on the towels. We did not notice any. The stitching seems to be solid as the towels remained intact in our commercial washer and dryer on a fast cycle.
Customer Review: Good but with flaws
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought a couple sets of these for my wife for Christmas and when we took them out they were in good shape. A few hours after them sitting on the table I looked very closely at the threading and one section was unraveling. I was disappointed but we kept it and it hasn't kept unraveling but I fear one day it will.
This thing beads water and doesn't necessarily soak it in. It feels a lot different than some of the other towels we own. I am used to throwing a towel around me after getting out of the shower and having the water instantly get soaked in. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, the water doesn't dump all over the ground but it is a bit different. I would recommend this for a cheap set of towels and you won't be dissapointed if they get messed up after a little while since they are inexpensive.
Customer Review: Better than more expensive designer brands
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought these in a few colors (at a higher price) about a month ago. They were purchased to replace some designer catalog towels that I mistakenly thought would be of better quality. Well the designer towels shed about 1/2 their heft in my drier.
So here I came to Amazon looking for a better alternative.
I ordered 3 sets of these and am impressed with their drying ability and their feel. The towels are nice and thick and absorbent (like a towel should be, right?). The package of six include two sets -- making this an even better deal.
I just went back and bought another three sets for use over the holidays with out of town guests. You won't be sorry with these. I am tossing my old towels and using these sets almost exclusively.
Customer Review: Just OK
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought three sets of these towels, in different colors. While there were no glaring flaws, right out of the bag there were a number (perhaps 2-5) of longer "mis-weaves" or "thread tails" on most of them. I fear that if I were to cut these shaggy bits off, it could affect the overall wear of the towels, but to leave them on looks untidy. If I were to buy towels in a store, I could go through the stack and pick out ones which had few or no flaws, and if you're picky like me you might well wish to do that rather than buy these towels. Otherwise, they seem to be fine, although they do shed a great deal of lint in the dryer everytime I wash them-- but that may be normal for this type of towel?Customer Review: Very luxurious towels but they are not absorbent.
Summary: 2 Stars
We have had these towels for almost a year and a half now and they still look great!
The color, Heather, wasn't the same as it was pictured but we kept them anyway as they felt great.
They feel great and as I mentioned they have held up great to daily use but we are still disappointed in them.
The towels just do not absorb water like they should.
When you start to dry off the towels feels cold to the touch and that is the reason for only 2 stars.
I have read where people say that you can not use fabric softners on them or they will not be absorbent.
We have never used fabric softeners on them in either the washer or dryer so that is not the problem.
