Tools and Hardware Reviews of Pike Street 100-Percent Egyptian Cotton 725-Gram 6-Piece Towel Set, Bluestone
Customer Review: Disintegrates into lint and fuzz
Summary: 1 Stars
I was very disappointed with the feel and look of the towels out of the packaging. They appeared dingy and old. I thought, from reading the reviews, that all they needed was a wash. I was wrong. The towels started to come apart at the seams and it filled the lint trap of the dryer with the most lint I have ever seen! Since then I have used the towels and have had to be wary of lint and fuzzy on my person after showering or on fabrics that I lay the towels on. Very bad quality. Do Not Buy! I have bought egyptian cotton, soft, luxury towels at a national (blue colored emblem) department store for a great price, and these towels have surpassed even luxury hotel towels I have used!Customer Review: $25 YES, any higher NO
Summary: 3 Stars
If these towels were not so cheap I would probably be upset about the quality. I have three sets. Two were purchased at the same time and another a year later. I have one set that is nice a fluffy, another one is limp and in need of some loving, and one set should have been returned. So there seems to be a quality control issue. The towels will loose there luster, but the fading has seemed to stabilize. So far the towels have held up well, no fraying. I do find them absorbent (TIP: Do not use fabric softener). In fact I was able to dry myself off with one hand towel.
PRO: Inexpensive, absorbent, have held up over time.
CON: Fading, quality control.
Customer Review: Soft, Fluffy, Beautiful--BUT not very absorbent!
Summary: 2 Stars
We have been using these towels and wash cloths for about three weeks now and even extra washings have not made the towels absorbent. Just now, while trying to dry my hair, water actually rolled down my face. They are soft, but do not take up water as I think a towel should do. The wash cloth is much the same way. And, when placed on the towel rack to dry, they take forever. In fact, when I took them out of the box, I immediately washed them, and it took forever to get them dry enough to take out of the dryer. I've never seen material like these towels. I bought three sets and can't really use them unless by some miracle they begin to absorb better.Customer Review: Pike Street towels

This set of towels was not the quality that I expect from Amazon. I purchased a blue set and a brown set. For whatever reason, the brown set may have been slightly better, but that's not saying much. I washed and dried them before monogramming and already, there were spots along the towel edges that were starting to become unraveled. Since these were a gift, I reinforced the stitching with a blanket stitch along all of the towel and hand towel edges to prolong the life of the product. But this is something a buyer should not have to do with a new product.
I will not purchase any other Pike Street products.
Customer Review: Soft but not absorbant
Summary: 2 Stars
My wife and I really like Egyptian cotton towels. We were excited by Amazon's sale and took a chance. These towels are very soft. A huge plus! Unfortunately they lack absorbency qualities. The towel feels cold as we dry off and the water does not feel like it is being absorbed. Wet and cold is not a good feeling in the morning! We do not use dryer sheets or any type of detergent product that would coat the towels. As for pricing, we did NOT get a super saver discount as promised in Amazon's advertising but were attracted to the initial sale price. All in all, we will not buy this towel again.
