Elrene Home Fashions Everyday Casual Prints Assorted Fabric Napkins, Decorative Cloth Napkins and Table Accessories, 17" X 17", Gray, Set of 24

Recently switched from paper napkins to cloth, to reduce the amount of single use paper we use in our home. This multipack was an easy and affordable way to make the switch. I have had them for a couple of months now and they are holding up great after many, many uses. They wash very nicely, are easy to smooth out with your hands when they are out of the dryer. I immediately lay flat,’smooth, fold, and tuck back into the drawer. Also leave one near the kitchen sink to dry my hands, since I’m wiping the off often when cooking and cleaning up. This lets me keep dish towels ‘clean’ for wiping dishes. And not worry about staining them, and also reduces my use of paper towels. Also they seem to get softer with each wash!

They are beautiful and well made. Nice variety of prints. Ample size. Absorb well. They wash pretty well (make sure you put stain remover on red sauce). And they get even softer after a couple of washes. When I take them out of the dryer I just smooth them in a stack, and once I have the whole stack I fold them. They are not wrinkled at all - just slightly crumpled at the edge and even the crumple seems to fall away. I love them for every day use. I would definitely purchase again.

What a nice variety of designs in these fabric napkins! A very good weight to these; not heavy but not cheap feeling either.I wanted to dress up our table for Easter dinner but I didn't want the traditional Bright Easter egg colors. These really fit the tone with that almost Boho type look and the cream linen tablecloth that I had. I was able to add some fresh flower arrangement accent color within the tablescape that I had going down the center of the table. I loved the mismatched designs along with my cream scalloped good dishes! These will be fun to use for all sorts of occasions! They washed up very well. I did dry them in the dryer and they came out very nice; It doesn't look like I will need to iron them at all! Can't wait to use them again ;)

I got these for sustainability and money-saving purposes -- I got really sick of buying paper napkins over and over again and just throwing them in the trash. It felt like a strange addiction that I couldn't kick. Using reusable napkins in the house is such a relief.The good: They look nice, they are sturdy, and I expect them to last me forever.The bad: They wrinkle like craziness. Unless you take them out of the wash immediately after the cycle is over, flap them open, and pop them straight into the dryer, they will come out a crumpled mess. This doesn't bother me much because I did not buy these napkins for formal gatherings, just everyday use. But if you are looking for something beautiful to use every time, get ready to get your iron out.

I needed something to up the quality of my table for a tea party, and these could not have been more perfect. I was hoping to get the black set, but since they weren’t available, the grey set was ordered instead. I was pleasantly surprised at the tremendously good quality of the napkins themselves, and the color ended up being a perfect compliment to the table.These are going to hold up for years, even with heavy use.

Buy these napkins for the cute patterns and the affordable price, but do not expect them to be made from high quality fabric. The material the napkins are made from is a coarse weave, low quality cotton. That means they’re stiff and rough, not smooth and soft, and tend to wrinkle. They do soften up some after being laundered multiple times. I do not iron them for everyday use, but to get the edges to lay flat, they must be ironed.

These napkins have held up wonderfully over the past 2 years of regular use. The ink printing has faded a little bit compared to how they looked straight out of the package, but that's to be expected with regular use and washing. I wash these in hot water with my towels, so the fact that the prints have held up so well to that abuse is quite impressive. The hems have held up really well to heavy machine washing, as well. I like the variety of prints, yet there are 6 of each print, so there are enough to make a matching set for a small dinner party, if need be. Some have aquired light stains (mostly from tomato-based foods like pizza sauce) but that's the trade-off of them being nice and absorbant. I'd buy these again if I needed more napkins, but the set I bought is holding up so well that I won't need new napkins for years!

Oh, the comfort of cotton! There's little I can think of that I detest more than wiping my face with some synthetic fabric napkin. Blecchh! I also don't like the waste of paper napkins. Neither do I want napkins that are so fancy (and expensive) that--you don't want to use them... These are roughly square, printed with pleasant boho/classic patterns and are so numerous that you don't have to feel bad about getting them dirty. Being cotton, they'll absorb whatever you missed that landed on your face instead of in your mouth. I got the deep blue and it is very nice--sort of navy/deep indigo. They have just the right degree of minute imperfection that they're homey. The price made these an EXCELLENT value.
