Know before you buy
No, these coasters are not absorbent. They feature a hand-stitched needlepoint inlay set into a solid wood base, so they are designed primarily for surface protection rather than moisture absorption.
Because they are crafted with delicate French cotton thread and wood, these coasters are not dishwasher safe. We recommend spot cleaning the needlepoint gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and wiping the wood base with a dry cloth as needed.
These coasters do not feature a non-slip backing. They have a natural wood finish, so you may want to be mindful when placing them on slick surfaces like polished glass or marble.
These coasters are not heat resistant. While they are perfect for cold beverages and standard glassware, we recommend avoiding placing extremely hot items directly on the needlepoint or wood surface to prevent potential damage.
These coasters are intended for indoor use only. Exposure to direct sunlight, humidity, or outdoor elements may damage the natural wood finish and the integrity of the hand-stitched cotton thread.
