Know before you buy
To keep the needlepoint looking its best, spot clean the surface with a damp cloth or a soft-bristled brush. Avoid submerging them in water or using harsh cleaning agents.
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 light condensation rather than heavy spills.
These coasters are not heat-resistant. While they provide a protective barrier for your furniture, they are not intended to withstand direct contact with very hot cookware or boiling-hot mugs.
No, these coasters do not feature a non-slip backing. They are designed with a solid wood base, so you may want to be mindful of placement on very slick or polished surfaces.
Each set comes with four individual needlepoint coasters and a matching wooden holder, which keeps the set neatly organized when not in use.
