these coasters are so pretty and well made, I’m rating based on how great they look! I’m ordering another orderThis is exactly what I was looking for. I used to have some coasters that looked like real tiny little actual oriental rugs that did not have the rubber backing on them. But I really liked them and they were kind of unique so I began to try to find something to replace them. Especially after my puppy chewed up several of those. 10 of these in a package and very nice colors was great.My entire family likes cold drinks. Every coaster we have purchased promises to absorb the moisture that drips down from the glass but that never seems to happen. The water always pools on the coaster. No matter the material. We have had cork, ceramic, "thirsty" coasters, etc. and they all gather liquid instead of absorbing it as promised. The only successful coasters are made of cardboard and they only last for a single use!I bought these on a recommendation from a friend who has had them for 15 years and I have no idea why she has kept them a secret. They are the best coasters and absorb every drop of liquid that drips off my glass. I use them inside and outside...and I live in Florida so my drinks sweat up pretty quickly. I have bought 10 of these and sent additional 5 packs to all my family as New Year's gifts. I, unlike my friend, plan to share my secret :-)I’ve had these types of coasters for years. A gift from when we were in Abu Dhabi. Some are stained and needed replacing.I used this as part of a goody bag for an adult birthday party with a Moroccan theme. the colors were pretty and the designs were on point.I have had these kind of coasters for many years, and have compared them to others. These little fabric ones are absolutely the BEST for looking good after many, many years, and for preventing ANY liquids from leaching onto furniture. Backing is fairly heavy rubber, and the "carpet" material is ultra dense and absorbs liquids better than sandstone or any other materials. They can easily be washed if you spill something awful on them. Really the best option to protect valuable furniture.These coasters are the best I've ever used and are both functional and beautiful. I have had all kinds of coasters and they all have problems except for these. I have been using mouse rugs since the 90's and was happy when they came out with coasters. The coaster will absorb condensation from a very large glass of ice water and keeps it off my wood furniture -- it doesn't get better than that, especially considering there is a design and/or color that will fit well with almost any decor. I don't normally leave reviews on Amazon unless a product is very good or bad -- this is one of the good ones :-)These are the cleverest and prettiest coasters EVER, imho. For regular usage, they are absorbent and durable and a good value. But ~ if you tend to leave glasses with ice and an icy beverages on these FOR MANY HOURS ~ there is a bit of FAIL there. Still: the prettiest !
