These days, so much of what we buy falls short of what we thought we were going to get when we saw the picture. This robe actually exceeded my expectations. Nice and heavy terry cloth. Roomy in the shoulders. Truly full length for my 5'9" self. I got the teal color, and it's gorgeous. I am impressed on first impression. The true test will be how it holds up wash after wash, but the cloth looks tight woven and durable, I don't anticipate a problem.
