Know before you buy
No, these coasters are not absorbent. They are crafted from solid wood and needlepoint, so they are best suited for protecting surfaces from scratches rather than soaking up condensation.
These coasters are designed specifically for indoor use. Exposure to outdoor elements, moisture, or direct sunlight may damage the wood and the delicate hand-stitched needlepoint.
Because they feature hand-stitched cotton thread and wood, they are not dishwasher safe and should not be submerged in water. We recommend spot-cleaning the needlepoint gently with a slightly damp cloth and drying the wood immediately.
No, they do not feature a non-slip backing. They have a solid wood base, so you may want to be mindful of placement on very slick or polished surfaces.
These coasters are not heat resistant. They are intended for standard glassware and room-temperature beverages rather than hot mugs or cookware.
