Premium CoasterStone EC500 Absorbent Coasters - 4 Inch Size Review

I knew they would get dirty easily. But the design goes with other things in my house and I usually only drink water. I spilled tea on one and as expected it got dirty. I tried to cover everything with tea just to give it a uniform color. And the whole thing is painted over, but very unevenly. I'm currently looking for a way to color them (markers that leave a consistent color. But if that doesn't work I'll probably just buy more of these.

I ordered these because I like the pattern. The first set was chipped so I sent it back and got a replacement. The 2nd set also came with chips. Always 2 coasters with chips and 2 others in perfect condition. In any case, it's not noticeable and for the price I think it's ok. Just know that they are not suitable for gifting because of the chips. In general, they are very cute. I would give 5 stars if they weren't chipped.

This is the second batch of these coasters that I have purchased. They absorb liquids really well, but as one reviewer noted, they leave stains. So if you spill coffee on it, most likely you will not wash it. You can minimize the stain by bleaching it, but it won't go away. I've had bad experiences with CoasterStone patterned dish coasters because they don't seem as absorbent. However, I think it can minimize staining since they are less porous.
