   Don’t absorb water, too small for my bigger glasses, September 19, 2012

   These look nice however they do not absorb water. The water sits in a puddle on top of the wood. They hold the water ok however I was expecting them to absorb it not just let it sit on the surface. So far I have only used it with a plastic cup but I imagine because the glass is sitting in the water you have a good chance of drips when you pick up the glass. I had the stone ones and they absorbed the water much better. The other issue is these will fit the standard dinner glass however I tend to use a wider beer mug type glass (with a handle) and the glass will not fit on these because of the lip. Also, these do not have a soft bottom (felt/cork) like others I had. It is all wood so I am concerned they may scratch my tables. I decided to keep them anyway since when company is over I give them the normal drinking glasses. I still have one stone coaster I keep for my oversized glass.

   Very disappointing coasters. Two big failures:
   1) these are too small for standard size coffee mugs and wine glasses. Why didn’t they make them just a touch bigger?!
   2) any drink that creates condensation- in other words any drink that is cold- ends up sticking to the coaster when you pick it up… the coaster then falls off mid way to your mouth and dumps the condensation into your lap. Why didn’t they bottom weight these things?!

   In hindsight I wish I had not ordered these.

   Wood is much lighter in color than advertised., March 30, 2015

   **The wood is much much lighter than advertised and does not match the table I purchased these for.**
   – Otherwise quality is decent, and what you would expect for the price.
   – The coasters are light in weight and sometimes stick to the bottom of cups with condensation.
   – Although it says shipping is 3-5 weeks, I received the the package within 6 business days.
   – Would not recommend if you are concern about the color, but can’t really complain for the price.
