Know before you buy
Each set includes four individual coasters and a matching wooden holder for organized storage.
Yes, the hand-stitched needlepoint design using French cotton thread provides natural absorbency to help manage condensation from your glassware.
Each coaster has a diameter of 4.1 inches and a thickness of 0.31 inches, providing a stable base for most standard glasses and mugs.
Because these feature delicate hand-stitched cotton thread, we recommend spot cleaning with a soft, slightly damp cloth if a spill occurs. Avoid submerging them in water or using harsh cleaning chemicals.
These are designed specifically for indoor use. The wood construction and cotton needlepoint are best preserved when kept away from direct sunlight and outdoor moisture.
