COTTON CRAFT White Dinner Napkins - Set of 12 Classic Pure Cotton Soft Cloth Napkins - Durable Washable Everyday Lunch Brunch Table Restaurant Wedding Party Gift Reusable Napkin - 17 x 17 inches

Update: We are now a family of 4 and use these daily. I'm buying my third set now. We are still a paper free kitchen and I use these for everything!Original: I. Love. These. I had enough with buying paper disposable napkins in my house as we were going through so many and I was just throwing money away (and my toddler was eating them)...I decided to give these a try as an affordable, bleachable, replacement for paper napkins. That said, they are awesome for every day, not fancy use. Some of the reviews gripe about the thinness of them, or the fact that they wrinkle from the dryer, and those comments are partly true. They are fairly thin, but not so thin that I can't use just ONE per meal for my messy toddler son. Sometimes I even reuse the same napkin for him all day! They are quite large, and unless he makes a huge mess, one of these babies lasts quite a while keeping him and his dining space pretty clean. They are thin enough to feel comfortable and manageable in your hands (not slippery, very absorbent) and not cumbersome. And the extra laundry is nothing. I throw them in with my laundry and they wash nicely.

Love these cotton napkins. I use them daily. They wash up beautifully. Of course, they need to be ironed because they are 100% cotton. But I love that.

Let me start with saying this. I have read the other reviews about these napkins, and the number of people that are complaining about the wrinkles. These are 100% cotton, and they will wrinkle. So if you have a problem with pulling out an iron and ironing, these are not for you. I understand we are all use to having some other material mixed with cotton that prevents cotton from wrinkling in our clothes.I bought a total of 4 packages for a weeding brunch and cocktail party. I can't be any more happier than I am. It's the little accents that make a party over the top. These napkins will hold starch and will hold a nice sharp crease. They are at a very good price for the quality. I received many compliments from the guest at both parties. Had a grandmother come to me and ask where I bought them from. She said " I have not seen a party given in this high style in many years.". It took her back to the days of when she was given a bridal shower. When people of society gave parties and they used all their fine serving pieces. A party was not given using disposable items. She is 89 years old. She could tell I was brought up with "Old School" southern manners. I don't have a problem with ironing, I find it very relaxing. My 93 year old granny taught me how to iron and how to get things to hold a razer sharp edge when ironing. I am in my early 40's. It's all about how persnickety you want to be with your parties. I would rather have them talking about the small things then how there was no food at the party.

I wanted to fold my napkins in the shape of a Christmas Tree (with accordian-type folds) - I needed nice napkins that were not heavy. I hesitated before I ordered these because of a review that said they were too thin; the review went on to say they were OK for every day use but not a formal table. But for me they were PERFECT on my formal table! They were not too thin, folded beautifully and held their shape!We had Buche Noel for dessert and there was chocolate all over them and it all came out, not one stain! If you are planning to fold napkins for the dinner table, these are perfect! Yes, they are somewhat thin, but they are cotton and 20" square which makes up for for it.I would purchase again.

I plan to add my own decorations to these little napkins. They're exactly what I was after, and nice quality (at an excellent price)!

I'm a napkin nut and have only used fabric napkins the past 10 years, so I know a thing or two about them. I remember seeing a review here about the "premium" fabric being thin, but it is NOT the case. The weight of this fabric is rich and heavy and well worth the extra $, however I didn't purchase the classic weight so I can't compare. All cotton napkins need to be ironed, since cotton is wrinkly, otherwise it's best to purchase a cotton/poly blend. The reason why I purchase all cotton white napkins is that they can be bleached after every use to maintain the crisp white color, while cotton/polyester will yellow with bleach. Since I iron them, it matters that they are square, and these are perfectly square after washing - which is not the case with other napkin companies. I've probably spent too much time on this review, but it can be frustrating weeding through all of the Amazon offerings! I highly recommend these for every day use.

Very nice napkins Fabric is thin but they are absorbent and easily washed

Disappointed in the quality of the napkin. I needed a heavier, more polished looking napkin . These will be fine for daily use.
