Urban VillaWhite Premium Quality 20 By 20 Inches Dinner Napkins, 100% Cotton Casement Weave, Set of 12, White Over sized Cloth Napkins with Mitered Corners, Durable Hotel Quality

Not sure why reviews for napkins and towels are being lumped in together by Amazon, but whatever.I see the price has now dropped $6 from what I paid a couple of weeks ago, to $21, so if you can get these for less, do.I like the generous size and the thickness of these white napkins. They're 100% cotton, made in India, and seem to be well sewn. They washed well (cold water wash with liquid detergent, then hot water wash with liquid detergent before the first use), and came out of the dryer (next day) with minimal wrinkling. I look forward to seeing how these hold up after multiple hot water washes in the months to come, and will post an update.I bought these to use as handkerchiefs, not napkins, because I've had such awful luck finding handkerchiefs that aren't threadbare thin (brand new) and poorly sewn. These napkins will do well as handkerchiefs, and also for Old West stick-em-up-style spur-of-the-moment temporary face muzzles now that muzzling is required again because of the potato variant.

These napkins are very wrinkly and they're not quite square, so even if you iron them they can't be folded neatly. Dish towels make better informal table napkins and they're a more adequate size too.

Poorly sewn edges. Lightweight cotton. If you are looking for a restaurant quality white cotton napkin this product is NOT it.

Positives: 1) Not much shrinkage (1/4 inch all around) after laundering in cold water and drying on low temp. 2) Bright white in color 3) mitered hem, as described 4) fabric is soft and absorbency is adequate for small blots, not major lap spills.Negatives: 1) The fabric is quite thin, similar to bed sheets. 2) The edges are not consistently even and do not match up when folding. Sometimes the bias is off. 3) These napkins definitely require ironing - they are not wrinkle resistant, but they do steam iron out relatively smoothly

I'm skeptical of reviews, since other companies can attempt to sabotage by creating false impressions. So I went ahead and purchased these pushing aside the negative comments. But here are the facts:1. All cotton napkins need to be ironed, and there are no exceptions. Wrinkle-free napkins would be a cotton/poly blended fabric.2. All cotton napkins can be bleached after each use and maintain their crisp white color, and that is the case here. Keep in mind that cotton/poly blended fabric will yellow with bleach, that is why all cotton is superior.3. If you're going to be ironing napkins then it needs to be easy and rewarding. The problem with these napkins is that, after washing they are significantly uneven, which poses a problem. They can be stretched the opposite way and can be worked back to mostly square, but that is a tedious waste of time!4. And lastly, they are thin. Not the weight I prefer. When I take the time to wash and iron napkins, then the result needs to be an added luxury to life, and unfortunately these aren't worth the effort, sorry to say.
