"bamboo coasters"
workmanship is not great.when you see them,they have a chintsy look.not as good looking as they appear in the picture.

"Shocked!"
I was surprised at how good these coaster are. I will be buying some more.

"A fun and useful set for families with small children"
When we opened the package, they had a slight smell to them. It was not completely pleasant, but not repulsive either. The coasters and holder are a slightly lighter golden honey color than in the photograph on the website.

They have a smooth finish and a appearance that children can not resist. They look almost like really big checkers. They also make a pleasant sound when they are dropped back into the holder or banged together. I have a feeling that these are going to end up all over the house, from the little ones playing with them. Maybe I need to order an extra set, for that purpose. :) We like them.

The bottom of the holder has three fuzzy velvet like protective stickers on it, so that it does not damage whatever surface that you store these on. That was a nice surprise.

"Trendy & Fun"
We were looking for a coaster set to set out when entertaining & decided to try this one & have gotten more compliments than ever! The style keeps them trendy & they are a good weight that they don't slip or spin while in use.
They are wide enough to be comfortable with almost any glass & a wet paper towel can clean them off easily so that after each event we can clean them to look new again.
The reason for only four stars is that there isn't an upper lip around the outside edge to help catch extra sweat from the glass. The inside ridges do help some, so we haven't experianced any major problems yet. I usually go through after the event & quick dry off any water spots I see & I can say that these coasters do greatly help prevent water marks & so far, anything that's left behind is too little to stay permanent.

"nice product!"
We love these coasters - plus the added bonus of being made of bamboo - it is an ecological decision.
