Review on Smyrna Turkish Herringbone Cotton Decorative by Danny Crowder

Color was good, product as advertised. But even for the expected thin Turkish towel, the texture and quality were only weak. I think herringbone weaving is important. But there are also seams on the sides that pull up a bit and make it look like a cheap product made in China. I've just washed/hanged them (no tumble dry) and haven't used them yet so can't comment on absorbency but as it's 100% cotton I'm sure they will absorb enough to be hand washed to become. The towels, on the other hand, were great! Same color/brand, Smyrna Turquoise, but the weave was (diamond?) and much stronger, with no weird stitching on the sides. Can't say towels are terrible - they're adequate - but they look oddly cheap compared to bath-size towels. They seem to be of the same quality/consistency.
