DII Solid Napkin Set Collection, 20x20, Dark Green, 6 Piece

Edit: I just opened the red napkins and they are a bit thicker and not as soft as the black ones. I’m still going to keep them and wash them to give them a chance. I’m sure they will be fine for once in a while.I bought these black napkins as well as 6 red ones for our Christmas dinner. The black ones, without being washed feel mostly soft(ish). Not rough like polyester but not completely soft like other cotton napkins that I have. I’m sure after a wash or two they will be great. Over all I’m happy with them even though I haven’t had a chance to use them bc a family member tested positive for Covid so we are postponing our celebration.The black ones are on the thin-ish side, which I don’t mind. If you hold one up you can see through it. It’s not sheer by any means, but you can see everything on the other side. That being said, they are not cheaply made or cheap material. I very pleased with them. They are kind of like your favorite pair of candy thin linen pants. Just trying to give others a better idea of what to expect.

These light blue napkins are 100% cotton, but they are easy to unstain if you soak them in water after having poured some savon de marseille liquid soap on the dirty spots. They are easy to iron and they dry fast. I washed them in cold water and the dryer was set on the "Delicates" program. They tend to be a little deformed so if you plan to fold these napkins for your Christmas decor, then it might be not easy at all. I love the colour and the cotton touch and I plan to use them for Xmas associated with the Light Blue Baroque Benson Mills' tablecloth. The price is more than affordable for a set of 6 napkins which should last if taken care of properly. I think they match a lot of different fabric tablecloths, and depending on your tablecloth color, can make a great impression. I use beautiful stainless steel napkin rings as the edges are difficult to fold perfectly symmetrical. They have a bunch of colours in stock and I might take more. They have a great size (20'x20'); all napkins should actually be 20'x20' : it is classy and it will be useful to protect expensive and less expensive clothes as the fabric is thick enough to absorb grease projections for instance. They can be used mainly everyday, but also for bigger occasions depending the bigger occasions importance.

I have purchased at least 10 sets of these napkins, mostly in dark red or burgundy shades. Because of the dark color, I pre-washed them to remove excess dye before embroidering them. I rinsed them in a sink till the water ran clear, then put them through a hot cycle in the washer, to let them shrink. Not much shrinkage, that's the good news. For the 1st set,after drying them, I embroidered them and returned them to the washer to remove embroidery stabilizer. I didn't notice that dye had gravitated to the creases in the spin cycle. After drying, even a dry cleaner was unable to remove the transient dye. ($13/napkin!) Next time, I tossed a Shout Dye Catcher into a lingerie bag and then into the washer with the napkins. Perfect! No dark spots or crease marks. Now, I do this as a habit, no matter the color. Yes, the napkins are naturally wrinkly, but the alternative is having napkins that don't absorb anything. I don't need napkins for decoration! If I'm using them for a more formal gathering, I iron them. On a daily basis, I smooth them and fold. They hold their shape and don't shrink much, and now, they don't bleed, either. I'll be back for more.

Beautiful quality! Nice vivid color! I used Heavy Spray Starch on back and front of napkins because they are 100% cotton & need to be ironed. I don't mind because I iron all my napkins because I like a neat,crisp fresh look. Also, I monogrammed them with my embroidery machine.I have since also purchased the "Pink Sorbet", which is pictured

These cotton napkins are a bright yellow color (just as shown) and look great on my table for a summer casual place setting. The napkins are a good size and nicely retain their shape and color when machine washed and dried. The more they are washed and dried, the less wrinkly they get, perhaps due to softening of the material. I prefer to iron them, though, for a more finished look. I am very pleased with the quality for the price and would recommend them for purchase. I just wished they had come in packs of 8. I have included photographs so that you can make a better purchasing decision. (I have combined them with a white, green, blue and yellow butterfly tablecloth and inserted them in a green beaded napkin holder which I also purchased on Amazon. I typically use just white plates and dinnerware so that I can easily change the look with the seasons. I think the yellow will also work in the Fall with autumn colors on the table.) I hope this review is helpful to you.

I have 5 sets of these napkins purchased in June 2020 and love them for casual and outdoor dining. The 3 new sets I purchased in December are disappointing in the following ways: they are not the same quality as the other 5 sets I own; they come out of the laundry MUCH more wrinkled and wadded up; they are not cut on the grain of the fabric so after laundering they are shaped like trapezoids, the listing is for 20x20 napkins however they measure 18x20, the listing says they are 100% cotton however they appear to be a cotton/rayon blend. I notice the 3 most recent sets were half the price of the original 5 sets purchased--I urge caution with the lower priced item. It is not the quality of the others. It appears the items shipping from the E-Living Store are the sub-par quality.

The napkins appear to be decent quality, however I ordered two of the same color and they are completely different colors! Different packaging and obviously not the same color. I am very disappointed.

Nice napkins for the price. They match my tablecloth & runner!

very good, exactly the colour I wanted.

came today, exactly what we wanted. I've pre-washed in a cold wash no shrinkage. So far so good.

These are lovely pure cotton napkins.Their size, even after washing remained true, and all hems and seams remained strong and secure.Their colour remained true as well, with no fading or streaking.Keep in mind they are pure cotton though, and expect to have to press them immediately after each wash.I prefer to take mine straight from the wash and iron them, laying them flat to dry before storing them.Still, for the price, and their generous size, (20" x 20") they are of excellent quality and are soft, absorbent and strong.They feel much nicer to the lip than blended fabric napkins, and I expect they will only get softer with use.If only I didn't have to iron them, they would be ten star ... but I can't have everything all the time, right?I still may order more in other colours despite needing to iron them after washing.I need to iron very little as is, so I suppose for these I can make an exception.

I bought 3 of these sets in Dark Green. I washed them after arriving, let them dry on the laundry line and they retained their colour. Because they're linen, they have natural "wrinkles" which I like as it has a more rustic feel to them. You can always iron them for a more laundered look. They are absolutely beautiful and were perfect for my Christmas table. Highly recommend!
