Cute and sassy placemats! They were exactly what I wanted for my round oak table. The circular pattern makes them easy to dress up or down (now to find matching napkins!). I use them for decoration so I haven’t needed to clean them, however, I think it could be an issue with messy dinners like spaghetti. There is definitely a “correct” side as can be seen in one of the pictures. They came in a set of six and there were 10 color choices-I chose navy. They arrived well packaged and on time. I would highly recommend these products.
