Make nice coasters - not hot pads
928657
These loops are great, bright colors.  But, once I started to loop the edges of the pot holder, the pad shrank!  It ended up being the size of a coaster for a sweaty glass and not large enough to use as a pot holder at all.  Plus, it was the very devil trying to connect the outside loops because they all pulled away from the loom once two sides were done.  These loops may frustrate children if they are trying to make pot holders.  They certainly frustrated this adult!!!

These coasters are NOT white as described... they are warm ivory.  But we like them so much they still get 5 stars.  Only a few people have seen them but every one has commented on how cool they are.  I arranged 3 of them under a glass pitcher of ice water with pear slices in it (pretty!) then put each glass on a coaster, all on a Lucite tray, and it was very striking for our afternoon guests.  I really like the ability to put several together to form a pretty underlay for a pitcher that will sweat,  Perfect.

I recently decided to redecorate our dining room so I bought new placemats and wanted some coasters as well. We have a lot of bamboo products in our kitchen and I love the look so I was mainly looking for bamboo coasters. I'd also ordered a few products from this company and liked them enough so, when I saw these coasters, I decided to take a chance on them.

This coaster set contains a total of seven pieces, which are six coasters and one coaster holder. Each coaster measures 4 3/8 inches in diameter and 3/8 inches high. The coasters have three rings cut into each, making them look like bulls eyes. The holder is designed to hold all six coasters when they aren't in use and there are three pieces to hold the coasters in place. The bottom of the holder has three rubber feet to keep the wood from scratching your tables. If you need to clean these, it's recommended you hand wash with a mild soap and water and dry thoroughly. These coasters are made in China.

I was excited to receive these coasters and start using them! I keep them on our dining room table for when I'm working on my laptop and need a coaster since I don't want to damage our table. I also like these coasters because we have four-year-old twins who like to play with new "toys" and I didn't want anything that would break easily. In my experience with bamboo products, a way to keep them in good shape is to use mineral oil, which you can find inexpensively in the pharmacy section of any store. As soon as these arrived, I put a little mineral oil on a paper towel and rubbed the paper towel all over each coaster. For the rings, I used a cotton swab, dipped it in the oil and ran it over each ring. If there is excess oil, just rub it off with a clean paper towel.

We've had these coasters for about a month and a half and, even with my mineral oil trick, they are still showing some wear. Whenever I see this, I rub some mineral oil on them but they still look like they are wearing down faster than I would've liked. I like the design and how these coasters can catch water and condensation but they are also fairly high-maintenance to keep them in good shape. When I see water on them, I always wipe them off to prevent it from just sitting on the coaster. I liked these coasters to start and the price was good since they were an add-on item but I don't feel they will last that long since they are already showing some water damage. Next time I need coasters, I will be purchasing something that is better-quality and that will hopefully last a long time. For these reasons, I don't recommend these coasters.

My coasters arrived today.  They look very nice but they are cardboard and do not appear as hardy or strong as I had hoped for or anticipated.
They perfectly match a tray in the same brand that is just a delight.

These coasters are very pretty. They look just like the pictures posted. They are bright and colorful. The colors are very vivid. They seem sturdy enough but only time will tell.

They are all plastic. There isn't any cork board or anything absorbent on the back so they are not functional at all. If the ice in your glass melts it is going to melt onto these and have nowhere to go except your tabletop or counter. You could use them for a hot drink, I guess. Otherwise, they look pretty on the table but that's about it.

The coasters came with a plastic storage unit that they can be stored in. The storage container is a little big so the coasters don't fit as well as I would have liked. Not a big deal but something I thought I would mention.

I received this item at a discounted price in exchange for a fair and honest review of this product.

Good quality, holds moisture, perfect coaster!

Beautiful colors and designs! A big plus is the fact that they don't stick to the bottom of a wet glass like other "stone" coasters do. I will be ordering more.

Best coasters I've ever had! These look so nice and work so well that I highly recommend them. The bamboo center soaks up any condensation or drips. I did see some people had issues with mold, but mine have never had a problem. I keep four out and they are constantly used (I've had them about a year now). They dry out quickly so I don't see a worry about mold at all. I live in a hot climate, but not much humidity (SoCal) so maybe that helps. I appreciate the fact that the bamboo is flat and level, so no accidental spills of your drink which I did have problems with previous coaster sets I've had. These would work well in any room, they have a nice clean classic look. Most importantly, they do their jobs very well!

Fun, colorful coasters that don't slip and have a raised design on the top to catch condensation. Easy to clean. Bought one set for the office and one for home and get comments on them every day. Only wish they came in other colors.

These are actually much nicer than they appear in the photo. It's a classic coaster design that's been around for decades, but there's a reason for that. It works. The cork bottom absorbs any drippy condensation that can collect on cold beverage glasses. Also great for hot coffee cups. Neutral enough to work anywhere. Priced right with prompt delivery.

The coasters are what I was expecting and I'm happy with them.  The holder is another story.  The base is made of two pieces instead of one and those two pieces have a gap between them.  It's like they ran out of pieces of wood that were the right size and did a quick, ugly fix.  Sloppy.  But the coasters are nice.

Picture is pretty on the coasters, and the don't get slick from the condensation that forms on your glass. They also don't seem to stick to the bottom of a wet glass like some coasters do. They fit into the wooden holder that I had from my last set of round coasters, so I'd consider them a rather standard/common size of coaster.

POSITIVES:  Silicone material is lightweight, durable, non-slip, dishwasher-safe, have a ridge around the perimeter to keep moisture off your table, and are quiet when setting your glass down on it.  Compared to coasters made of other materials, silicone material has the edge.  NEGATIVES:  Some other brands of silicone coasters have little nubs on them.  These nubs prevent your glass from sitting in a puddle of condensation to the bottom of the glass, and keep the coaster from sticking to the glass when you lift your drink.  Color - nothing fun here, it's a drab black, what can I say.  Price - higher than the brands with the nubs, so I don't consider these Barmix coasters to be a good value.  I received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

Nice coasters but any water or condensation get under the "cork" which seems to be just a thin liner. I'd recommend them for nice short time usage.

Greatest coasters ever. Great material. Made so they can hold quotes bit of condensation. Do nots lip around. Lovely assortment of coots.

You know, I am barely using them as coasters. I am using most of them under shampoo bottles, etc., to keep counters clean. Multi functional

Not classy, but they do a good job and don't stick to the glass like some coasters I've bought!
