Tools and Hardware Reviews of Pike Street 100-Percent Egyptian Cotton 725-Gram 6-Piece Towel Set, Cocoa
Customer Review: Amazon (Pike) Towel Purchase
Summary: 1 Stars
I've been an Amazon customer and more importantly an Amazon (BELIEVER) for many, many years! I will continue to look to Amazon for comparisons and such! However, this purchase just baffles me! After I received my purchase, it was necessary to wash them (as you normally do)!
Much to my surprise and horror was the fact that after the wash cycle, the towels were left covered with cotton fibers from the other towels that were washed along with the cocoa colored ones.
I decided to wash them again and not only were they still covered with cotton fibers, they began to shred and come apart, obviously defective!
The taupe colored set (after the 1st wash) nearly disintergrated!
It wasn't nor isn't worth sending back, I'll use them as rags, it's too bad I had to pay $20+ for something I didn't know I'd be using on the floor of my home.
Word of Advice: DON'T BUY!
PS - the only redeeming aspect to this POOR AT BEST review is that the pale green set of towels undamaged and dry nicely (as they should)!
Customer Review: You get less than what you pay for
Summary: 2 Stars
The first set of towels had to be returned as the sewing around the circumference of the towels was poorly done. Long strands thread were exposed, the type that would lead to the towel unraveling. However, the color across all towels was the same.
Called Amazon service and in less than a week a new set was received. The exchange was quick, painless, and free.
The second set were sewn significantly better, color was true, but as in with the first set, slightly lighter than what was pictured. However, it's close enough to my existing stuff to be acceptable.
The towels aren't as plush as my mid-grade towels from BB&B, but then again, I paid the same price for two entire towel sets from Amazon as I did for one bath towel from BB. You get what you pay for, but they're good enough.
Edited 9/6/210 after the first wash in a front loader, the hand towels started to come apart. Apparently, these towels dissolve in water.
Customer Review: baseline towels
Summary: 2 Stars
These towels while really inexpensive are not the towels my family and I are used to. Upon opening the box, the towels were packaged nicely, but after opening one package, and opening the towels, strings were hanging from one towel and still attached to the towel. That is just poor quality, either the towel is already unraveleing or the manufacturer did not cut off any stray strings. The towel is extremely thin. My husband and I decided not to use the towels ourselves and I wanted to return them but it would have cost me $15 to return them. I did not want to pay $15 for something I do not have. We decided to give them to his brother, who is single and does not care how fluffy or thick the towels are. I would not recommend this to anyone who is used to very fluffy and well made towels.Customer Review: Extremely soft but useless for absorbtion
Summary: 2 Stars
I had purchased the same towels two years ago and we absolutely loved them. The set two years ago was 5 stars. When they were on special we purchased more. They are some of the softest towels we have ever owned but they are useless when it comes to drying your body or hands. After 20 washes in hot water they are marginally better, but beware, something is being used on the fibers to make the towels soft and it is preventing the cotton from holding the moisture.
I would suggest that these make great show pieces in a guest bathroom that never get used, but I wouldn't want my guests to feel like they couldn't get dry after bathing.
Customer Review: I Should Have Heeded Other Reviewers Warning
Summary: 2 Stars
I should have heeded my fellow reviewers warning. These towels are not absorbent. I received the towels Saturday and placed them in my bathroom Sunday morning. I noticed throughout the day that the towels remained damp. My household only includes two adults. Therefore, I can only imagine how a family of four would react to towels remaining wet/moist throughout the day after each hand washing cycle.
Avoid these towels at all cost. I can only imagine the bacteria buildup that comes along with drying and re-drying your hands on these non-absorbent/damp everyday bath towels.
