The towels serve their purpose and are neat absorbent. A little hint yet: The photo suggests very valued and fluffy towels. When I held it in their hands they looked a little darker, so fluffy as they look on the screen, they are not. From friends I know towels where you all the time want to cuddle up, I did not feel the need at this hand Tuchern and they are a bit scratchy than expected. Both versions have certainly advantages and disadvantages, just because the feature fluffy on a lower suction. Nevertheless I hoped beautiful fluffy hand / bath towels to get, instead, I have a few more functional hand / bath towels, one of which is already a big stock in my closet. Therefore, well-intentioned 4 stars :)
