WOW!!
By J. Priest
These are the most fantastic coasters ever!! I got tired of my cheap coasters sticking to the bottom of my glass and then falling off in mid-air. These are great! They actually absorb all the condensation off the glass.

Scratched my tabletop
By MAK
I ordered these specifically to protect my brand new coffee table and end table. I was glad to read in the description that they had cork on the bottom to protect tabletops from the stone. Unfortunately, the soft cork is just a small circle on the bottom and it does NOT go to the edge of the coaster. The first time I put one of them down to see how they looked on my table, I picked one up and the stone edge accidentally touched the table and immediately put two scratches in it. They were very small scratches, but if they scratched it so quickly and easily with the slightest brush against the table top, I wouldn’t want to see what my tables would look like after a party! It was a pretty coaster, but I couldn’t keep something that scratched the very surface it was supposed to protect. I packed it up and returned it immediately. If you are very careful and aren’t terribly worried about little scratches on your tables, then these would be fine, but I have seen similar ones with protective cork all the way to the end and I think those are safer for furniture.

Good!
By ML
I bought this coaster set along with the Thirstystone (standup) Dark Walnut Coaster Holder (which fits great!) after reading a lot of reviews on Thirstystone coasters. I was interested in buying a coaster that would not lift with my drink and scare me as it falls onto the table like my glass coaster tends to do. Additionally, the ability to soak up moisture from my drink is a plus. My coasters’ images look pretty close to the vibrancy of the image on this site albeit a little duller, and the images are all centered. Though it is the heaviest coaster I’ve ever owned, that quality and the fact that it is porous does ensure that it won’t lift with my drink. Therefore, it fits my purpose great. Sometimes it does leave a little sand residue if I put a cup down onto it hard, but it’s no trouble to clean up. Finally, it does have a cork backing on it that leaves about 1/4″ or less around the edges unprotected so I will just have to be a little careful when lifting this off my wooden table so as not to scratch my table. Overall, I’m pleased with this purchase and hope this will last for awhile.
