Know before you buy
Because these coasters feature hand-stitched needlepoint, they are not dishwasher safe. You should spot clean them as needed using a damp cloth or a soft-bristled brush to maintain the integrity of the thread.
No, these coasters are designed primarily for their aesthetic appeal and are not absorbent or heat resistant. They are best suited for protecting your surfaces from standard glassware rather than hot mugs or heavy condensation.
These coasters do not feature a non-slip backing. They are constructed with a solid wood base and needlepoint inlay, so you may want to be mindful of placement on very slick surfaces.
Each purchase includes a set of four round coasters and a matching chestnut-colored wooden holder for convenient storage when the coasters are not in use.
These coasters are intended for indoor use only. The combination of natural wood and delicate needlepoint stitching is best preserved in a climate-controlled environment.
