These mats are very pretty and look nice on my dark brown table. They’re thick and I like that one side is shiny and one side is textured. They are easy to clean and are a good size. My only problem is that some of them have a crease in them that almost makes it look like it was folded in half for a long time even though they arrived in a flat envelope package. The lump isn’t going away even after having hem out for several days. It’s not a deal breaker, but it’s definitely something to consider for high end place mats like these. The brown is more of a ”champagne” type color vs. “brown” .. but looks nice on a darker table.
