Natural Chindi Placemats (Set Of 6) - Design Imports: Cotton, Machine Washable, Rectangular Table Mats for All Ages

I've had these mats for ~15 months now & they are my everyday/every meal placemats. We are two adults with no kids & although we're careful, we do spill on these at times. I gently use stain remover on them & wash them on gentle/semiwarm cycle every 4ish months & then hang them to dry. They do show some wear & tear along the way but nothing major - they're still beautiful over a year later. These would not be a great for kids or really messy eaters but if you're careful, these are long lasting & stay very pretty.

These placemats are rather thick and bumpy, which makes it challenging for dishes and glasses to remain level while on them. After maybe the second time washing them, one of the placemats completely disintigrated.

described as natural, they're mostly white with beige warp and natural hemp-look edgings described as 13", are actually 15" described as 100% cotton, labeled "recycled fibers of indeterminate origin"...I'm pretty sure they're cotton or poly-cotton, they feel like heavy t-shirt material. I don't mind helping the environment but I don't want to pay for new and get recycled, you know? This kind of mislabeling is really very bad and why I'm marking them not recommended. It's not worth the hassle of returning, they're good enough for my purposes, but be aware that you may not get what you're expecting.

Returning immediately! Every placemat is a different size. Some are bigger by 1-2 inches on both length and width! One even came a different color and material. I’m questioning whether it may have been previously used and stained. Looks like they started to cheapen the material and I got one of the old style. Don’t waste your time on these.

I purchased these placemats because they were described at being 13x19 inches. I have a narrow table so this dimension was critical and most placemats are 14x20 in. When I opened the package I found they were 14.5x20 inches - much too large for what I needed. I’m very frustrated!

These have been great and exactly what I had in mind to protect our dining table. They're thick, durable and although I haven't washed them yet, they should clean up easily. I actually bought 2 sets to have some spares.

All different sizes. Washed in cold water on gentle. Fibers balling up & unraveling.

Love these placemats. Great quality and they wash up nicely. They keep their shape after washing and I haven’t had any issues with staining or wear and tear.

I read the other reviews and figured, "how bad can the smell be?" It smells of chemicals enough to interrupt eating. I washed, and dried through dryer and the smell was gone. The dryer did cause the placemats to shrink 2" but they were oversized to start with so not an issue. The only thing is now they looked washed with some of the loops coming loose, and does not look new. If that is an issue for you, I would pass these up.
