Let me start by saying these SALAS kitchen towels are a visual treat! The colors are vibrant and true to the pictures, instantly adding a pop to my kitchen decor. The striped terry design is cute, and the hanging loop is a thoughtful touch—no more searching for a hook!

First impressions? Super soft and fluffy right out of the package. I used one to dry a stack of dishes, and it absorbed water like a champ. The 16x26" size is perfect for covering large plates or wiping down counters. Bonus: they didn’t shrink after a tumble dry (I hate when towels turn into napkins).

But here’s the catch: while most towels performed well, one from the set felt oddly thin and almost microfiber-like. Water pooled on the surface instead of soaking in, which was frustrating mid-dishwashing. Also, the loops on some towels snagged on my ring, leaving tiny pulls—not ideal for longevity.

For the price, they’re decent (especially the absorbent ones), but quality control seems inconsistent. If you get a good set, they’re kitchen MVPs; if not, you might join the disappointed minority. Pro tip: Skip the fabric softener to maintain absorbency!
