Know before you buy
No, these coasters are not absorbent. They feature a hand-stitched needlepoint inlay set into a solid wood base, so they are designed primarily for decorative use and surface protection rather than soaking up spills.
No, these coasters are not dishwasher safe. Because they are crafted with delicate French cotton thread and solid wood, you should spot clean them gently with a damp cloth if necessary.
These coasters do not feature a non-slip backing. They are constructed with a solid wood base, so you may want to be mindful when placing them on slick surfaces.
These coasters are not heat resistant. They are intended for standard beverage glasses and should not be used as trivets for hot pots or pans.
Each set includes four individual needlepoint coasters and a matching wooden holder for convenient storage when the coasters are not in use.
