Know before you buy
No, these coasters are not absorbent. Because they are crafted from needlepoint and wood, they are designed primarily for decorative use rather than soaking up condensation from cold drinks.
To maintain the quality of the hand-stitched French cotton thread, you should spot clean the coasters using a damp cloth or a soft brush. They are not dishwasher safe and should not be submerged in water.
No, these coasters do not feature a non-slip backing. They are constructed with a solid wood base and a straight edge, so you may want to be mindful when placing them on slick surfaces.
These coasters are not heat resistant. While they are durable, they are intended for standard glassware and room-temperature beverages rather than hot mugs or cookware.
The set includes four individual round coasters and a matching wooden holder. The holder is designed to keep the coasters neatly organized and accessible when not in use.
