Know before you buy
Each set includes four individual coasters and a matching wooden holder for convenient storage.
No, these coasters are not absorbent. They are designed primarily as decorative accents and to protect your furniture surfaces from scratches.
To maintain the quality of the French cotton thread, we recommend gentle spot cleaning only. These coasters are not dishwasher safe and should not be submerged in water.
These coasters are not heat resistant. We recommend using them for room-temperature or cold beverages to avoid damaging the wood or needlepoint materials.
No, they do not feature a non-slip backing. The base is crafted from solid wood, so you may want to place them on stable, flat surfaces.
