I was excited about these placemats since the color looked like a true red online but unfortunately when I got them they were more of a pink shade. I was bummed because the pink placemats didn’t match my dining room decor plus I wanted to use them during Christmas. 
They are very well made though and sturdy and easy to clean. They did arrive smelling pretty bad so I had to wash them and had to let them sit out for a few days.
I’m thinking I’ll use them in the spring or summer because of the color of the placemats.
