Cons:

• "Not as easy to clean, I washed by hand and placed in dishwasher and the stains refuse to come out."
• "They are woven, so it can be quite difficult to clean the crumbs out."
• "They take a long time to dry though as the water stays trapped in the weave and drips onto the table."
• "They do however let spillage go through and are almost impossible to clean."

Functionality

Pros:

• "They are easy to rinse in the sink and dry quickly, making dinner cleanup super easy."
• "They are washable and will help protect your table from hot dishes."
• "Easy to clean, look and feel as nice as the pictures would suggest, and have kept our nice table free from damage from hot plates."
• "These do stand up to hot plates though, and they are basic in color/style so can probably go with anything."
• "They look and work great. Protecting my glass tables."
• "They are beautiful to look at and perfect for protecting my new table."
• "As for heat resistance, they have been fine with normal homemade meals and microwaved food- a plate almost too hot to handle by hand."

Cons:

• "The table mats were not what I expected. Very thin and definitely not heat resistant."
• "These are gorgeous however they're super thin and don't protect your table from messes."
• "These are woven plastic material. If you spill anything on them, it goes straight through to the bottom and does not protect anything underneath."
• "Spilled liquids leak right through to the table and it can be difficult to see that you have spilled on it."
• "They are not insulated they transfer heat horribly. It has caused our table to blister and chip the finish away."
• "These placemats are fine if you are extremely tidy eaters. The woven texture makes it difficult to clean if you spill anything sticky. They are also not very heat resistant."
• "These are not waterproof moisture goes thru onto wooden table. Food and crumbs get embedded into the weave."

Value and Aesthetics

Pros:

• "Because they are reasonably priced, I can trade out colorations for the seasons."
• "I have paid twice the price for other placemats before and these are greater quality at a more affordable price."

• "I haven't been this pleased with anything for a very long time. The price is great too! A terrific buy!"
• "Great placemat for the price, cleans easy and looks great."
• "At the price point they are a clear win - as in 'just replace if too dirty'... and I will keep ordering/using them."

Cons:

• "Loved them but it did not go with my table, ended up keeping them because it was charging me more to send it back than giving me my refund."
• "3 of the 4 mats came with a defect. A crease running from one end to the other that is obvious and not fixable."
• "I am SUPREMELY disappointed in this product and very sad for my table. I will be returning them."

• "These are incredibly thin and are not heat resistant. Though they look nice, our brand new table is ruined."
• "They are very light weight, overpriced for the way it actually is."
