I have had these for 10 months now and they are still in great condition! Currently they measure about 12 1/4 x 12 1/4, which is perfect to me, and, I can't remember if they have shrunk or were this size new, but either way it is close to the 13 x 13 stated in the description; I don't understand people commenting that these are small, since the size is clearly stated. I am really happy with them overall. I was looking for thicker, sturdier, and more luxurious face cloths, since inferior ones don't last long or feel as good. My only complaint is the color; I got the taupe, and, it isn't the same in the picture. It's a bit darker and warmer in color, more towards tan. It doesn't bother me at all, these just contrast with a seafoam towel set anyway, so I didn't buy them to match at all. I do recommend these and believe they will last at least 3x as long as less expensive ones, so, it is well worth it! Besides, this price is extremely reasonable even for lesser quality ones, so don't hesitate!
