These coasters are not heat-resistant. We recommend using them for cold beverages or room-temperature glassware to avoid damaging the paper material.
Each set includes eight individual coasters, making them a great option for hosting small gatherings or dinner parties.
No, these coasters are not dishwasher safe. Because they are crafted from heavyweight paper, they should be kept dry and wiped clean with a soft cloth if necessary.
