I love these mats, bought some from my local garden centre and wanted to buy some more but they had sold out. They are sturdy and easy to clean. I have also bought the coasters to match.
Arrived a day late than expected time after paying for 2 day delivery. These were the best price online I could find including Amazon. As a last minute purchase for the Christmas table it was touch and go if they would arrive on time. They did.
The item is very nice to look at. They are not very heavy (possibly MDF) and are cork backed. Not every one was 100% flat when placed on a glass table and a few shifted easily. However on a table cloth they were fine. As noted by other buyers... if they get wet they stain. We had an accident and a glass of wine was knocked over, The edges of the mats presumably MDF are porous and absorbed some of the wine before it could be wiped up. This became visible under the laminate when looking from the front. It appears as a stain just at the edge, that we hoped would disappear when dried , it didn't.
Be mindful that in this regard the mats are not water tight or particularly robust. However, if you're careful and bring them out once a year or infrequently, at this price they served their purpose and looked nice around the table. I'd recommend buying a few extra to replace those that may get stained.

The Placemats are corked back and on the the packaging it says do not submerge in water, and wipe clean only, this would be the same with spilling liquid on them, cork will expand.
