Know before you buy
No, these coasters are not absorbent. They are crafted from solid wood with a needlepoint inlay, so they are best suited for protecting surfaces from scratches and light condensation rather than soaking up spills.
You can spot clean the needlepoint area using a damp cloth or a soft brush. Avoid submerging the coasters in water or using harsh cleaning agents, as this could damage the wood and the cotton thread.
These coasters are not heat-resistant. It is recommended to use them for cold beverages at room temperature to preserve the integrity of the wood and the hand-stitched design.
No, these coasters do not feature a non-slip backing. The base is made of solid wood, so you may want to be mindful of placement on very smooth or polished surfaces.
These coasters are designed specifically for indoor use. Exposure to outdoor elements like direct sunlight, humidity, or rain may cause the wood to warp or the needlepoint thread to fade.
