The placemats are nice, if you end up with a set without any quality control issues.  The first set of 6 had 3 that had defects, one with a thread defect/pull in the thread & two that were rhombus shaped instead of rectangular (off by close to an inch).  Ordered a replacement set only to have more defects.  One had a weaving defect about an inch long, one had all kinds of dark threads/fabric internally & the other 4 were good except they were significantly different shades of white (some super bright white vs the original set, & some very yellow vs the others).  Was able to make one somewhat good set out of the two sets, again the placemats are nice if you can get a set without defects but it seems quality control needs to be improved.
