Portmeirion Home & Gifts Pimpernel Earth Slate Placemats, Set of 6, 30.5 x 23cm

I almost didn't buy these based on other reviews. These are actually well made cork-backed placemats with a wipe clean surface that happens to be a slate pattern - they are not slate but this is clearly stated in the product description. I think they are reasonably priced and the colours suit my kitchen. I wouldn't put something straight out on the oven on them but then why would I? there are other more suitable mats for this.

Lovely place mats very stylish easy to clean quite sturdy and thick good quality and value

Nice looks but the paper laminate has already come off one of the mats.

lovely & classy table mats & matched the decor

Be careful to read the item description properly. These placemats are made of wood with a cork backing, not slate. They are, none-the-less, rather nice though.

Excellent placemats. Unique and intriguing design. Well made. We are California residents. Love the size. US products are way too big for our table. Delighted these ship to us here.

I had to ask for a replacement as they were wearing poorly. The replacement has lasted only 3 years. I've bought Pimpernel placemats before which lasted years. Very poor now and not worth the money

Used three of the placemats which look really good. Trouble is that one of the corners on a mat has come away and curled up = 11 days of ownership and thats what has happened.
