 Nice but not colorfast December 23, 2007

These towels feel great, and the color is true to the web site photograph. The only complaint I have is that the color bleaches out really easily. If you use any facial or body cleansers that contain glycolic acid, be sure you rinse them off your skin COMPLETELY before drying off with these towels. I did not, and my Sage-colored towels now have big yellow discolored bleach spots -- and this happened after just one use. I love the towels but will buy white the next time I get them.

"BEWARE"
These towels are listed as being 40"X70" inches and instead they are in fact only 30"X56"Pinzon Luxury 820-Gram Cotton Bath Towel, Spice
 Plush, Soft, & Well Constructed July 31, 2007

These towels are extremely soft to the touch, gentle on the skin, and very absorbent. The bath towel doesn't suffer from the same size constraints found with many other brands and is large enough to easily wrap and tie around your waist.
I have the sage towels. The color is uniform and consistent throughout the entire towel as well as throughout the entire towel set (bath, hand, bath mat).
This is the kind of towel you'd expect at a 5-star hotel and looks great with my bathroom remodel. It also looks and feels very similar to the towels I have from Restoration Hardware.
Soft, heavy, good absorption and value July 17, 2008

My husband and I are towel snobs. We took a chance on these specifically because the price made it a good gamble and so many reviews alluded to the heavy weight of the towels. We're extremely glad we did! We're so pleased with the quality of the bath sheets we'll now be investing in the rest of the sets from Pinzon.
Some important observations about the bath sheets:
- the first time you wash/dry them, be prepared to empty the lint trap in your dryer several times. They will NOT dry in a timely manner unless you are diligent about emptying the lint trap several times. We consider this a very minor inconvenience.
- as with any type of towel, the use of liquid fabric softener or more than one dryer sheet is a no-no. That's even more true with these because they are so thick and heavy. Water will shed right off them once dry if you use a liquid fabric softener, and that's assuming you can get them dry in the first place. Fabric softener should not ever be used on towels anyway, but it becomes even more important to remember that with the Pinzon 820 towels. I suspect most negative reviews regarding absorption are a direct result of fabric softener use. We've been able to get away with using a single dryer sheet in with two bath sheets and not have a problem, just to eliminate static electricity, but we generally use a dryer sheet that's already gone through once with a smaller/short load.
- these are HEAVY. Don't discount the reports of their heaviness. For example, I would not advise purchasing these towels for anyone who is elderly or physically lacking in strength. Their weight is really THAT significant. I could actually see someone with physical strength issues struggling to dry themselves off with these towels, so they're probably not a good gift idea for elderly parents and the like.
- the colors in the images for Plum and Platinum are a little more towards the "slate" side of the color spectrum than the images demonstrate. Both are a beautiful shade, but they do have that powdery slate-like hue to them.
Overall, we're very happy with these towels and have no personal complaints with them. Comments in this post reflect things that may be of concern to other buyers - as far as we're concerned, these towels are a 10 out of 10.
good quality, but too dense November 29, 2007

The quality is good, but the fabric is so dense it actually doesn't work as well as a less dense towel. It does not absorb water very well and takes longer to dry off after a shower then other, less dense towels.
