i should have put it back in the box when i took it out and white fuzzies were everywhere, but nope i washed it, and dried it, only thru the rinse cycle with no soap, casual dry cycle, and it came out looking thread bare and hundred years old. i still took it to the pool, and found it doesnt absorb water. it proved to be just extra weight to tote around and looked like i had went and bought the oldest raggiest robe i could find at st vincents. what a disappointment. for 40 dollars i have to wait two years to buy another one to make this crappy robe cost effective. shame on u eluxury. for the kind of money u want for your product u should sell some sort of quality. never again. u deserve 0 stars but that isn't an option.
