Review on Hemstitch Dinner Napkins Set 12: Elegant and Versatile Table Linens for Dining Excellence by Jorge Eckstein

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Beautiful but needs extra care

I bought 3 dozen for Thanksgiving 2015. Based on other reviews I wanted to disassemble them so they are soft when I use them. Out of the box they were square. I washed them 3 times on an extended prewash on a fine setting and only dried them once on an ultra low setting. They came out square, but they were softer! I then tried ironing them on low, then medium, then high and nothing seemed to help smooth out ALL the wrinkles. I wanted to make a traditional pyramid shaped napkin fold but my corners didn't match. Luckily I managed to fold three pockets to hide the corners. They were VERY absorbent which was great but I had a few oil stains that I couldn't get rid of so I washed them 3 times and dried only once (6 washes total, 2 tumbles now if you earn points) and it still came through softer, but even straight out of the dryer you still need to iron to smooth out the wrinkles. I love her but I'm not in love with her. I am currently using them for daily use. I'm 32 if my opinion counts.

Pros
  • Kitchen & Dining
Cons
  • Long delivery time
