Best coaster I've found
I was honestly surprised at how well these work, I had been searching for absorbent coasters for a while and these are nearly perfect. It's hot here in the summer (obviously) and any kind of iced drink sweats EXCESSIVELY, but when I use one of these coasters you don't even notice it. They easily absorb moisture as it accumulates, not leaving any puddles on the surface. That's always been my biggest complaint with other coasters, you end up with a puddle on a smooth surface and then you keep sitting your drink in it and making an even bigger mess. Useless! But these eliminate that problem completely. They dry INCREDIBLY fast too, when they first arrived I ran it under the sink to see how it worked and you could literally see it drying in front of your eyes.As for durability, I really expected these to be pretty brittle and break easily but since they came four to a pack I figured it was okay. My cats have knocked these off several times without so much as a chip! I would recommend these to anyone looking for something better than your traditional coaster without hesitation.My only drawback is that they stain easily, because they are so absorbent, and you can't get the stains out. Mine are all looking a little grungy, which isn't great but honestly it's way better than having sweat rings on every surface in the room! It's such a small negative for me, I'm not even going to dock it a star. I knew that they would stain based on another review, so it wasn't a huge problem for me. I still love these coasters and would encourage everyone to give them a try!

They are ok
At first I thought these were very good and that they were holding the condensation of my ice water on to the coaster. However underneath the coaster I have a towel to protect the table and I found that the towel was wet so the condensation went right through the coaster and through the towel. I had to change my review after I changed the towel today.

Nice size, absorbent
These coasters are a nice size! Although if you have a lot of big mugs they just might make the cut. I have a mug with the bottom the same size of the coaster and I have to make sure I carefully place it on the coaster. It’s super absorbent and light weight. The bottom doesn’t have a covering so if you have pores or any rough surface it scratches like chalk. If you grab them with wet hands it kind of sticks to you, but the coaster is ok after letting go cuz it absorbs it right up. Very nice color that can go with almost any decor you might have going on.

Very Absorbent
Living in a humid area, these coasters do a great job absorbing the condensation. We love the color too. We use sandpaper to sand out any stains. If you spill anything dark on it, you have to sand it as they don't wipe clean. Overall, we are happy with these coasters. I ordered some others before these and had to return them as they didn't absorb anything. Happy with our purchase!

Great product
These coasters are beautiful as pictured, they absorb water super fast. My only disappointment is that it has no padding on the bottom to protect furniture but unless you drag it across the furniture it should be fine, also it flakes some material residue which it doesn’t bother me but just saying.

Not easy cleaning for coffee stains
I love the color and durability. Now, when it comes to "easy cleaning", this is where I have a problem. I had a common coffee mug ring on the coaster. I washed it with soap, no help, I am about to try sandpaper. Now, calling this easy cleaning is certainly a exaggerated statement. I guess if you only use water or are combating just condensation these are the ones for you. So when I have company I need to decide which coasters to use depending on the beverages

No padding on the bottom to protect from scratching the table
I love ALMOST everything about these coasters.. the color is great and they speak up any condensation from cups/bottles/cans. The only thing I didn't like was the bottom didn't have any padding to protect my wooden end tables from being scratched. I looked around on Amazon and found some 3" felt pads with an adhesive backing. Now I can use them without having to worry about scratching my tables...easy and cheap fix!

Must have!!
These coasters are amazing! They soak up liquid super quickly like nothing I've ever seen before. I had a couple of coffee stains on one so I rinsed it in water...didn't come out so I sprayed the stains with bleach spray and the stains disappeared quickly. Rinsed off the bleach spray and they're as good as new. Bought a 2nd set.
