Urban Villa Premium Quality Napkins Reviews Summary

Quality and Texture

Pros:

• "These are great quality napkins."

Cons:

• "This product was terrible. It was not color fast."

• "It says napkins BUT WAY too large for napkins.. and they have a loop on them for hanging so they are kitchen towels to me and not napkins."
• "Received napkins and first 2 I looked at are trapezoidal, not square - not just a little but so much it’s readily apparent when folding them for table presentation."
• "After one wash in cold water they shrunk 2” and were not squared."
• "They have shrunk a tad after several washings."
• "Washed them in cold water before their first use and put them into the dryer to tumble dry on medium heat and they still shrank quite a bit and almost every side seam is now perma-wrinkled and distorted."
• "These have now been washed several times and the curl up at the edges."

Maintenance and Durability

Pros:

• "They wash well, show no spots, and if taken out of the dryer and manually smoothed out, do not need ironing unless you want to impress your mother-in-law with sharp creases."
• "Arrived as expected and works exactly as described! Love this product!"
• "This is my 3rd purchase of these brand of napkins and I love them!! They are very nice quality, great fabric, and I take them right out of the dryer and they don’t get wrinkled."
• "They wash incredible, and don't wrinkle."
• "They launder well and only crimp on the edge sometimes."
• "They wash well - and stay flat!! No rolled up edges!!"
• "They hardly wrinkle and I fold them right out of the dryer."

Cons:

• "They do need to be ironed, since they are 100% cotton."
• "The ONLY downside is that you must iron after washing."
• "They will come out of the dryer all wrinkled, but if you iron, no big deal."
• "The fabric is soft and appears durable, however the mirrors/hemmed edges do not lay flat after washing. Ironing required."
• "Overall, their utility is fine, they just wrinkle a little too much for my liking all around the edges."
• "These napkins look Ok, especially new. But they are not at all wrinkle-free. Always look wrinkled unless you iron."
• "However, they ARE wrinkled when come out of wash so if using with company, or to flatten to put in drawer, you’ll need to iron them."
