Cons:

• "I am very disappointed due to I ordered these based from the good reviews... Waste of money."
• "Sadly 2 arrived with a yellow stain and I had to throw them away."
• "Didn’t last more than a year. We would wash them and hang dry them, and started fraying after about six months."
• "Unfortunately when I received these, I put them in the cabinet until I needed them, then when I got them out to use for the first time, I realized 2 out of 6 had about a 2 inch slice/rip in them."
• "These mats were left out for days to get rid of the terrible chemical odor and even washed with soap."
• "These placemats look nice but on our glass table they melted and left plastic grid marks from normal dinner plates."
• "Ordered the 6 placemats and one was irregular shape."

Practicality

Pros:

• "The PVC material does seem to help keep both plates and the placemat in place."
• "Practical, too: it's non-skid."
• "If i spill food on them i just wash it off. No staining and no need to dry."
• "They are easy to clean up with the sprayer in my kitchen sink and dry quickly."
• "They are easy wipeable placemats that don’t have to be thrown in the washer."
• "They are super easy to clean and stay put on my table."
• "These placements are easy to wipe off and wash in the sink."

Cons:

• "As for heat resistance, they're a little too thin to offer any real protection against very hot platters, etc."
• "I’m not happy with these, I bought them so my table wouldn’t get white marks on it from hot plates or bowls."
• "It is heat resistant and stain resistant but, not easy to clean because of the texture."
• "Fluid flows right through them, defeating the purpose of having a placemat in the first place."
• "They are nice looking but not at all practical if you have kids."
• "I was looking for 'heat resistant' to protect my beautiful wooden dining room table. What I got was a paper thin, weaved plastic, or whatever it is, that would be questionable at best, to protect my table."
• "Careful what you eat on these they retain stains like tomato sauce."

Stain Resistance

Pros:

• "I have not had any issues with them getting stained from food."
• "They are water resistant but the interesting woven pattern lets moisture through easily."
• "They are easy to clean with warm water."
• "I haven't set anything hotter than a warm plate and cup of coffee on them but they are thick enough to protect my glass table."
• "Liquids do not soak in. They just make a bubble on top that is easy to wipe up."
• "They wipe clean easily."
• "Wiping them off is the only care they need!"

Cons:

• "Tomato sauce stains quickly! My fabric mats clean up better in that regard."
• "Also they are porous so everything that is liquid goes right through them without any resistance."
• "Definitely not water resistant, the tiniest water, such as from the bottom of the plates or cups if they are not completely dry, can easily slip through most of the time!"
• "This does not do what is advertised."
• "The biggest problem I have found is that red tomato-based stains like ketchup and spaghetti/pizza sauce are nearly impossible to remove."
• "Marinara sauce discolored it... there's just no getting the stain out."
• "They may flat and can be wiped down which is nice but spaghetti sauce stains them."
