These placemats are beautiful and casual, very nice for everyday use. Pros: thin (some may consider it a con), not too big (size after washing drying and ironing 16.75"x 12.5", I am not a fan of large placemats and napkins), well made and held up well after wash, reversible and both sides pretty. Con: the color is a muted light green, not as bright and rich as in the internet photos, but still nice.
