Know before you buy
Each set includes four individual coasters and a matching wooden holder for organized storage.
No, these coasters are not absorbent. They are designed primarily for decorative use and to protect surfaces from direct contact with moisture.
These coasters are not heat-resistant and are intended for standard glassware and room-temperature beverages. We recommend avoiding direct contact with very hot items to preserve the needlepoint and wood finish.
These coasters are not dishwasher safe and should not be submerged in water. To clean, gently spot-clean the needlepoint area with a slightly damp cloth and allow it to air dry completely.
No, these coasters do not feature a non-slip backing. They are crafted with a solid wood base, so it is best to place them on flat, stable surfaces.
