Know before you buy
The coasters feature a needlepoint surface crafted from French cotton thread. While they provide a soft, protective barrier between your drink and the table, they are best suited for catching minor condensation rather than heavy spills.
Each coaster measures 4.1 inches in diameter, providing a stable base for standard glassware, tumblers, and mugs.
Yes, the set includes four coasters and a matching chestnut-colored wooden holder, which keeps them neatly organized when not in use.
These coasters are specifically designed for indoor use. The needlepoint fabric and natural wood construction are not weather-treated for outdoor environments.
To maintain the integrity of the hand-stitched design, we recommend spot cleaning the needlepoint surface gently with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid submerging the coasters in water or using harsh cleaning chemicals.
