Because of the design on both sides, it leaves an imprain’t on the surfaces I’m trying to protect. Also, they are smaller than I was expecting

I was a little hesitant to pick these up and wasn't expecting them to perform as well as they do being rubber and not something that would absorb condensation, but after using them for a few weeks I can say they're great. I frequently keep drinks on my new end tables and desk, and needed coasters that worked well for a full 8-hour day (or so). If I use a lot of ice, the condensation can build up on the bottom of my glass after a few hours, causing them to drip a little when I pick up my glass, but the deep grooves in the coasters do a pretty good job collecting most of it. If I' working a 10+ hour stretch, I usually just swap out the coaster for a fresh one about halfway through, which works great. The main reason I purchased them was to prevent damage to my furniture. The minor annoyance of a couple drips if I use them for a long time is well work the cost of saving my furniture finish. Most of the other coasters in this price range have terrible reviews or just don't look like they would last nearly as long without either spilling the condensation off the edges and onto my furniture. They're definitely not the most fashionable coasters but they are effective and definitely exceeded my expectations.

As other reviewers have said, I wish these were a bit larger and a bit deeper to hold more water/condensation. On hot days, the condensation from a cold glass will pool and run off the coasters, because they aren't deep, which defeats the purpose of having coasters. I only have this problem on hot days when condensation builds quickly. But the price is right, and the coasters are decent. They are supposed to be dishwasher-safe, and I intend to try washing them in the dishwasher. Because the coasters have grooves, which should help catch liquid/condensation, they are a bit hard to clean by hand.

I purchased these for use in the front cupholders of my Infiniti QX80 2018 vehicle. The cupholders in that model are very large and plastic all around, including the bottoms. I had been finding that drinks (especially my metal Yeti cup) placed in them would rattle around quite a bit as the cup got less full, which was very annoying. I was specifically looking for some sort of rubbery, soft coaster to put in the bottom to help reduce the rattle. Based on the dimensions and materials, as well as the low-cost, I decided to give these a shot. They actually fit perfectly-as if they were made specifically for these cupholders in this vehicle. Very satisfied.

Perfect and exactly what I needed. I needed a soft coaster that would grip my glass and take on some condensation from beer glasses and ice coffees. The pattern makes them look a lot nicer than just some stamped out silicone rubber pad so they don't stand out like an eyesore in my living room. I'm very happy with the purchase. My girlfriend was worried they'd be ugly but they blend right in.

They are nice looking and feeling, but of course with silicone comes the inevitable attraction of every tiny piece of dust imaginable. They also feel just a bit flimsy, hoping they will last. They match the style of my coffee table so I like them because of that. Not absorbant of course, but the design keeps condensation off the table.

I've been looking all over for these locally and could not find them. I had purchased others in the past that weren't as nice. What I love best about these is the texture is on both sides. I bought these for my bathroom cleansers that always rusts on their bottoms -- these are a nice fit for them. Yes, they are a little smaller than the others, but I don't mind -- it still works just fine for the cup of coffee.

Coasters that don't stick and don't leak. These are the most practical coasters out there. They are not as attractive as some other coasters with images or design though. However, only these coasters prevent leaking and glass sticking. This is my second purchase, as the initial 4 were not enough for our family and friends.
