In my estimation a five-star placemat. A beautiful grey-tonebrown hardwood placemat. The best of the best. Yes, it costs a bit more, but as I’ve always been told - quality products will always last longer, function better, and be of more value over extended time than those products lacking such. These placemats do more for a quality table setting than merely functioning well. They set a tone, an ambiance about what dinner time is, or should be, all about - quality family time.
