Not bad. I bought two sets (both black) as an alternative to the terry-based towels I've had for sometime. I hate to say you need both kinds (terrycloth and cotton/lint free), but if you're picky like me, it's the sad truth!
Terrycloth is great for drying dripping-wet dishes fresh from under the faucet (soaks up plenty of water) but not so hot for glassware/stemware. To end up with truly smudge-free glass, one must use lint free cotton towels--no way around it. Unfortunately, lint free cotton towels can only absorb so much water before they become too damp, to be effective. So, what's the solution? Having plenty of dry, backup towels to swap out, when the one you're using has given up the ghost (so to speak). A set of six is about the right number. I still use the terrycloth for everything other than glass, and only use these for my clear stuff.
Enough about process, what about quality? Not bad on that front either. While the patterns are woven-in rather than printed-on, there is still a very distinct front and back to theses. Another thing about cotton is that it's cotton! So yes, they look like hell when you pull them out of the drier--by that I mean they wrinkle--plenty! I actually ironed mine the first time out, but I assume as they become more broken-in, they will be fine, right out of the drier (I also assume I'll become less enthusiastic about ironing dishtowels as time goes by).
Anyway, chances are good, you're nowhere near as finicky about your dish towels as me, right? So my recommendation is: buy these, they're as good, and lots cheaper than the ones you find in Williams Sonoma or Sur La Table.
