Know before you buy
No, these coasters are not absorbent. They are crafted from needlepoint and wood, so they are designed primarily for decorative use and surface protection rather than soaking up condensation.
These coasters are not heat-resistant. While they provide a barrier between your drink and your furniture, they are not intended to withstand high heat from hot mugs or pans.
These coasters are not dishwasher safe. To clean them, gently spot-clean the needlepoint surface with a damp cloth and mild soap, then allow them to air dry completely.
No, these coasters feature a solid chestnut wood backing and do not have a non-slip grip. You may want to be mindful of placement on very slick or polished surfaces.
The set includes four individual needlepoint coasters and a matching wooden holder for convenient storage when the coasters are not in use.
