Coasters for Drinks, Round Absorbent Ceramic Stone Coasters with Cork Base, Funny Drink Coasters with Holder for Cold Drinks Wine Mugs and Cups Tabletop Protection, 4 Inches (Blue Set of 8)

Just as described - nice little set.

These arrive in a plain white cardboard box measuring approx 13cm x 13cm x just over 9.5cm.It would be easy to wrap & make a nice housewarming gift.Inside the box, the coasters come sealed in plastic then wrapped in bubblewrap inside their black metal stand.I wasn't sure which colours I would get as it looks like there are 8 sea creatures but some are brown while some are blue & honestly I'd been hoping for the blue turtle.I got the jelly fish, whales, octopus and fish in blue, the shell, starfish, seahorse & turtle in brown.The tops of the mats are really lovely prints, exactly as they look in the product images & are a matte finish which feels very slightly rough (the way a smooth dry clay surface does) to the touch.They are a decent size, just under 10.5cm diameter and about 8mm thick including the very thin cork bases.Lately my water dispenser has taken to leaking a little, so I get a cup with water on the base which makes a ring when you set down your drink.These coasters absorb a small amount of water, so after placing an intentionally wet cup on one, when I picked it up a minute or so later, the water had been absorbed into the coaster.It's not immediate - I poured a couple of drops of coffee onto the surface & watched them slowly disappear into it.Due to the mottled background design, while I could see the mark from the coffee if I really looked, nobody else would have noticed it.I washed the coaster under the cold tap & it's gone without a trace, but the coaster looked clean really before I even did that.Water doesn't even leave the slightest trace, so for cold drinks which tend to produce a lot of water droplets, these are excellent.They aren't going to clean up a spill, & after intentionally putting half a teaspoon of liquid on one, while it was absorbed it left the surface slightly damp to the touch, they are much better than regular ceramic coasters which let any little drop either dry as an unsightly ring or drip off onto the table.The stand is sturdy, has 4 little feet & is easy to pick up & move as a whole with the coasters inside or when empty.We tend to keep a stack in the living room so when we suddenly need extras, they are already on hand to pull out, so I really like them coming with an easy to spot home to keep them in when not in use.Only thing I wasn't keen on is that most of the coasters have some of the print bleeding onto the sides in parts, instead of being the plain creamy colour they should be.I do really like these, but that bleed has cost these a star.

Excellent coasters, nice and sturdy with non slip matt surfaces. Like the design and appear to stay clean and dry.

The media could not be loaded. As usual, the package arrived very quickly from Amazon.I ordered this set of Guruji Divinity Coasters with Holder as my old ones had seen better days and they were cork, so when drinks spilled on them the liquid sunk into the cork and stained them, but not with these.The coasters arrived in shrink wrapped cellophane inside a bubble envelope, placed inside its black coaster holder, inside a sturdy cardboard box.I must say, personally, I think these coasters look amazing; I really like the design and quality, and they’re easily big enough for a one pint beer jug and my biggest tea/coffee mug (see photos). They are thick enough that the heat will not penetrate to the surface they are placed on, also they have cork on the underside to protect any surface you place them on.The coasters are ceramic, so if they are dropped on a hard floor I am pretty sure they will break, so you will have to be extra careful with them, if they do break or chip easily I will return and update this review.Saying that, the coasters look so good, I have thrown all my old ones away and replaced them with these, on my desk, on the table next to our sofa, and on my beside cabinet, when my wife saw them she said “well, where’s mine then” !I could go through everything that’s in the listing description but I’m sure you have already read it before reading my review, so I won’t repeat it, you can see the unboxing in my video, this is just my personal experience with it.At the time of writing this review the price is £16.95, they are a little expensive, but the quality is so good that I personally think they are worth the price.The squares on the table I use when photographing and videoing are there so you can use them to help you judge the size of items, the small squares are 1cm square and the larger ones are 5cm squares.I hope you have found this review and photos helpful.

I have found the coasters to overall be a good edition to my living room. The coasters are nice and thick, and durable. The only thing that lets them down slightly is the print on the top of the coaster. Up close it lacks detail and looks a little 'pixelated'. From afar it looks fine.

The media could not be loaded. The beautiful eight coasters of Ocean theme are well made and well finished. These are big enough for holding my coffee cup and beer mug. These are slightly rough to provide a good grip for the container.These have good absorbency. Comes in a stand where these can be placed when not in use.It is advised to hand wash these to clean them so I wouldn't put them in dishwasher.Overall, impressive aqua coastet that does the job.

I was really in need of new coaters as mine had become a bit stained so I was really pleased to receive these.You get a set of eight coasters inside a metal holder which is very attractive and the set would make a nice gift.Each coaster is painted with sea creatures in a blue and orange print. The printing is really good and the colour does not bleed outside of the pattern.The coasters are made of some sort of ceramic with cork bottoms to protect your surfaces. The thing I have noticed about the coasters is that they are a god size and will hold the large mugs that I have, easily, which I don't always find in other coasters.It is a bit confusing as its says they are dishwasher safe, but also that it is hand wash only, I think looking at the surface it would be better to wipe up any spills straight away to avoid staining.They are a nice set and you do get a holder and 8 mats for £16.95 so I think they are good value and very nice to look at.
