NOT a luxury towel. Reviews appear inflated

I knew based on the price that this product was probably too good to be true, but even so I was disappointed with the quality of the towels I received. I mainly purchased these as gym towels to use when doing cardio in my building's gym. The advertised dimensions looked perfect and the width was an inch or two wider than most other hand towels. Unfortunately, the towels I received measured a full inch shorter than the stated dimensions on arrival, and nearly a full 2" shorter after the first wash cycle due to shrinkage. Moreover, the quality, loft, and general softness of these towels is much closer to that of a bargain bin Walmart towel than that of any 'Turkish Cotton' hand towels you've ever seen. Even at $4 a Towel, these still aren't a bargain. They're good enough for my needs as I mostly care about sweat absorbency (decent) rather than aesthetics, but if I had purchased these thinking I was getting a fluffy hand towel I'd be pissed.
