What I like about these placemats is that you can leave them on your table and not have to set them out before each and every meal. They’re clean in there vision and the way they’re made is in the hole cut outs are very clean without any threads showing. With its neutral color it goes with every accessory or home decor. I leave them out on my table so that all I have to do is place the plates on them. Another plus is it is a heavy fabric so it isn’t cheap looking in anyway
