These are very pretty placemats but you can truly not use them on a dining table, the beads are not sewed in securely at all , you can hardly take them out of the packaging without seeing that beads have already come off and detached while transporting in shipping, I was really disappointed to see the loose beads in the clear bag one arrival... I tried to show in the photos what I mean and to also show that there are other area’s such as a night stand or a vanity instead of the dinning room table to use these, cause god for bid you get these dirty there will really be no oway to clean them.
