Since the placemats come in sets of 4, I ordered 4 sets.  One set is wonderful - accurate to size.  The other 3 sets are good quality, but clearly smaller, an full inch top to bottom and one and a half inches in width.  They are also a different dye lot, a bit darker red, which is fine with me.  I almost returned the smaller ones, but really want red placemats for Christmas, so still considering that.
