Quite attractive but impractical for daily use. Great for special ocassions and will be nice when hosting guests as this will surely be a convesation topic like something you got from an exotic holiday. Good size and beautifully handcrafted . The other side is lined with cotton cloth so it’s not reversible. Should be easy to clean when really needed by rinsing in soapy water then hang to air dry. I love this and £20 for this set is good value for money.
Pros- the placemats and coasters are quite large so they will accommodate larger plates and cups.- the set is very pretty. I was worried the yellow would be garish but it is cheerful without being too bright.- the set does feel well made.Cons- this is not a practical set at all. The beads are obviously going to be hard to clean and the placemat and coasters have a thin cloth backing which will be utterly ruined by any spills. I will be using the placemats to stand my vases on as I know they won't last if I use them on the dining table.- the set does have that handmade look. I don't think this is an issue at all but I know some people prefer items that look more uniform.
The handmade coasters are carefully and meticulously crafted and have a good amount of weight. The small beads are woven into a metallic wire to give these coasters great look. Since these are handmade every coaster differs bit which is a case for every handmade product. These are the best coasters which I have owned so far. These give excellent look to my dining table and kitchen area. I dont use dining table a lot so these are great show piece to decoarate dining table. I am very impressed with these.
Absolutely gorgeous, quality is second to none, size is incredible and you get everything you need to make your dinner table a real decor attraction. Superb. Highly recommended!
In this set you get four plate mats, four drinks mats and four napkin rings all in yellow and silver/white small beads.I’ve no doubt that a lot of effort has gone into creating these my artisans. The items included are a little strange though. The cup and dinner mats have a rustic look which doesn’t really go with the much more formal napkin rings. Overall I think these are a little to rustic for my taste.Whilst the upper side of the mats look OK, the underside really does not - I’ve added a couple of photos of these. There’s a fairly thin fabric base which I assume is in place to prevent the mats damaging the surface they stand on. Unfortunately a consequence of this is that the mats are pretty much impossible to clean. If they just had a bead and metal construction they could be wiped clean with a wet cloth easily. There’s no way to clean effectively the fabric base though and even clean it distracts from the look of the mats.The mats are not particularly cheap but if they are helping artisans in India that’s less of a concern. Nor are they very expensive. I’m just not sure the product collection really works reflecting the cleaning issue and the inclusion of napkin rings.Overall three stars. A little disappointing.
