Know before you buy
To maintain the quality of the hand-stitched needlepoint, spot clean the coasters gently with a damp cloth or a soft brush. They are not dishwasher safe and should not be submerged in water.
No, these coasters are designed primarily for decorative use and are not absorbent or heat resistant. They are best suited for protecting surfaces from standard glassware rather than extremely hot or sweating beverages.
These coasters do not feature a non-slip backing. The base is crafted from solid wood, so you may want to place them on stable surfaces to prevent sliding.
Each set includes four round, hand-stitched needlepoint coasters and a matching wooden holder for convenient storage when they are not in use.
These coasters are intended for indoor use only. Exposure to outdoor elements may damage the wood construction and the delicate French cotton thread.
