Know before you buy
No, these coasters are not designed to be absorbent. They are crafted from needlepoint and wood, so they are best suited for protecting surfaces from scratches rather than soaking up condensation.
Because these coasters are hand-stitched with cotton thread, they should not be submerged in water or placed in the dishwasher. If they get dirty, gently spot clean the needlepoint area with a slightly damp cloth and allow it to air dry completely.
No, the coasters feature a solid wood backing and do not have a non-slip or rubberized bottom. You may want to be mindful of placement on very slick surfaces.
These coasters are not heat resistant. While they are perfect for standard glassware and room-temperature beverages, they are not intended to serve as trivets for hot mugs or cookware.
The set includes four individual square coasters and a matching wooden holder, which keeps them organized and stored neatly when not in use.
