Review on 🌸 Multi-Purpose Silicone Floral Trivet by ME FAN by Justin Reese

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Decent product at a lower price but original brand preferred

I have purchased several Blossom silicone coasters and have had more fun with them than I expected. I have also given them to several friends with great reviews. This Christmas I wanted to gift this item to three other friends and I wanted to give them a set of three in different colors. Buying that many at once would be pretty expensive from the Blossom brand as they range from $7 to $10 depending on the seller and color. So when I stumbled across this $10 set of 3, I gave it a try. They're not bad, but they're definitely a step below the Blossom brand. Here's what's similar and what's different. LIKE brightness of color, overall design/floral look. Both are good. MISCELLANEOUS - These coasters are half thinner than the Blossom brand. I'm not sure if this could be an issue if you're putting a very hot dish on a delicate surface. You may need additional height. The flowers are 3/8" tall and these are 3/16". The flowers fold up so they can be stored more in a cylinder shape, which I find handy, I keep them in the drawer just outside the dish rack. They don't bend/fold easily so you need to store them flat. That's not a problem, it just depends on how you want to store items. Flowers can be "undone" and actually nested inside each other so you can get green in pink. This makes for a bigger stand and a cute design. Basically, you can untie it at the ends and wrap it around another stand. I am not affiliated with any of these companies and paid full price. I'm only taking the time to write this fuller review because I'm really surprised at how happy I am with the Blossom type and while I appreciate the lower price of this version, I'd probably rather buy two of these and give away the more expensive ones instead, to get this set of 3 cheaper. If you haven't tried Blossom yet, you won't notice the difference. They are bright, appear well made and add a cheerful touch to the kitchen table.

Pros
  • Easy to clean and store: just hand wash or throw in the dishwasher when it needs washing; The scale is designed for easy use and the hole for easy hanging and storage.
Cons
