Know before you buy
Yes, with a 4.1-inch diameter, these coasters provide a stable base for most standard glassware, tumblers, and mugs.
The needlepoint is crafted from durable French cotton thread. We recommend spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap, ensuring you dab rather than rub to maintain the integrity of the stitching.
These coasters are designed specifically for indoor use. The solid wood construction and needlepoint inlay are best preserved when kept away from direct sunlight and moisture found in outdoor environments.
Yes, the set includes a matching solid wood holder that keeps the four coasters neatly stacked and protected, making them easy to store on a coffee table or sideboard.
The coasters feature a solid wood construction with a smooth, natural finish. However, as with any hard-bottomed coaster, we recommend placing them gently on delicate surfaces to avoid potential scuffing.
