Natural Home Decor Cork Coaster, Set of 4

although i imagine the smell is amazon warehouse, and not the product's fault holy crap i had to put these things outside they smelled so bad. the last time i ordered these they were better quality cork too. but they're coasters and they work. if you don't get smelly ones you'll be ok!

A coaster that can accommodate a sweating bottle or glass fits the bill for us. We have had beautiful glass, ceramic, metal and other non-absorbent coasters — they do not do the same efficient job as these. They are plain, neutral in color and style so fit into many scenarios. And not expensive!

These are the only coasters I purchase. They are the perfect design to absorb moisture from the glass or can placed on it. They are thick enough to protect furniture from hot drinks as well.

I had coasters similar to these for years and wanted to replace the two remaining of the set with new. I should have known that I would be able to find them here through Amazon. So, nice and easy order/ship/delivery and for such a reasonable cost, to boot.I like that they are a natural cork color and of simple design as they go with any decor. While the illustration on the product page does not show it, there is a raised rim to keep any moisture from condensation from spilling over. I do wish that they were a bit more absorbent so that condensation wouldn't drip on my shirt when I tip a cold glass on a hot day, but they otherwise do the job just fine. User friendly, too ; ) Just place with the print side down, the rimmed side up and your end table, night stand or what have you will remain ring-free, dry and unmarred. So, overall, these coasters coast just as they should and if they were indeed a bit more absorbent then they'd coast most perfectly.My grandtoddler likes to sometimes walk off with one, so if they should ever fall into the abyss of all things lost, I will definitely order another set!

I am disappointed in these coaster. They do not absorb the liquid. Everytime you pick up glass it drips on you.I gave a two because they are nice looking and light weight

If you are looking for these functional qualities, you have found your coaster:Protects table from heat.Protects table from condensation.Doesn’t stick to the bottom of cup.Super absorbent.Let’s be honest, most coasters are more decorative and not functional, so they are annoying to use. Not these!I know it’s not the most attractive, but it is neutral so it’s not an eye sore.-My second time purchasing these because I needed more for my new coffee table!Eco-friendly and functional!We are happy coaster customers! :)

These were lighter than I expected, but fit even my biggest plastic cups (usually those 32 oz commemorative cups from restaurants like Flanigan's). So far haven't had any issues with the condensation from a cup soaking through the cork. It's got a good thickness to it, which I think would require a true soaking in a sink, a normal amount of condensation from a cold glass won't penetrate. As others have said, this does have a ring indentation on the other side of the coaster, which is blank (no logo). I'm pleased with the set.

I’ve had these for years. Work wonderfully, only complaint is I wish they came with a holder.
