I got these because I needed a good placemat for my table.  My home is a rustic/farmhouse style and these were the rust colored I was wanting.  These are very pretty and good quality.  I realize they are shimmery and were advertised as such, I had hoped just not as much shimmer.  In my opinion, for me and my use, these will great for the holidays not as much for everyday use.  ONLY because it doesn’t fit my rustic/farmhouse decor.  During Christmas it will be perfect!!  I can’t wait to use them then!
