Based on my experience, these placemats are a total letdown. While the anti-skid feature works adequately, they lack the durability needed for industrial and scientific settings. The polyester fabric tears easily and is not resistant to spills or stains, making them unsuitable for food service equipment & supplies. The only pro is the design, which is modern and stylish. But unfortunately, that alone does not make up for their poor quality. Save your money and invest in better tabletop & servewaSee full review
