Cotton Craft Gingham Oversized Napkins Reviews Summary

Quality and Durability

Pros:

• "These napkins are nice and thick, very nice fabric and colors."

• "They are thick and well made out of cotton fabric."
• "These are the best napkins I've ever used."

Cons:

• "Unfortunately, the color reflected is not what I received."

• "Cute napkins but they don’t absorb much and become very wrinkled."
• "The size is great! But when I washed and dried them the edges curl and don't lay flat."
• "When washed, they are extremely wrinkled, so much that they are hard to fold flat."
• "Stains don't come out quite as well as I would hope, but I don't mind too much."

Environmental Impact and Versatility

Pros:

• "We started using clothes napkins to eliminate our land-filled foot print."

• "I have been doing my best to lower the amount of waste we create."
• "I've completely stopped buying paper napkins after purchasing these!"

• "For my household I decided to reduce our use of disposable paper napkins, and go with cloth instead."
• "Break the paper cycle and go with a cloth napkin."

Cons:

• "The only negative is that they are shipped in plastic bags. I would have preferred recyclable packaging."
• "I only gave it 4 stars because they are not completely square."
• "I gave 3 stars because I needed them to be 20x20 for a project, and they won’t work."

Appearance and Style

Pros:

• "Absolutely wonderful! The colors are so bright and beautiful!"
• "I was so happy with them that I decided to order the Striped Napkin - Black Ivory."
• "At first I was concerned that the colors were too dark, but now that we have been using them I like that the darker colors mask the food stains when in use."
• "They are extremely stylish and add a bit of fun to quick meals on the run."
• "The design is eye catching."
• "Love the white and black gingham style, too."
• "They are large and very nicely made."

Cons:

• "The fabric will be a bit 'bumpy' out of the dryer so you will need to iron for a crisp look."
• "The red is so pretty. I use them for spaghetti and pizza nights."
• "These are perfect for my farmhouse-inspired brunches and for any general use!"
• "They are a nice thick quality and looked really cute and festive."
• "They barely wrinkle and are nice and handy."
• "I was at first alarmed to see how huge these napkins are and would have preferred a slightly smaller version."

Maintenance and Care

Pros:

• "They hold up to messy finger food, like pizza and French fries."
• "The colors stayed bright and true."
• "They wash and dry just fine, no wrinkles if you don't let them sit in dryer once it turns off."
• "Follow the care instructions and there are no wrinkles."
• "They've held up to a lot of use after almost a year and are still kicking!"
• "They wash well and don't show stains as frequently as lighter colours."
• "They wash up easily. Fold them and stack for more use."

Cons:

• "I don’t have time to iron napkins and I wish I had gotten another set of the checked ones."
• "They were a bit stiff so I washed them seven times to soften the fabric and increase absorption."
• "For the best look they do need to be ironed, but if taken out of the dryer and folded while warm they are acceptable for regular daily use."
• "The only downside is that you will have to iron them, especially if you are unattentive with your laundry and leave it in the dryer for a few hours."
• "However, the seams wrinkle a lot if you put them in the dryer, and require some ironing if you're having company for dinner!"
• "Once washed they crinkle up a little on the corners so they take time to iron after each use."
• "Being 100% cotton when first washed they come out a wrinkly mess."
