ENKORE Coasters Set of 6 - Absorbent Ceramic Stone Keep Spill Off Table, Coaster for Drinks in Vibrant Colors and Cork Back Pad - Octopus On World Map Novelty Design with NO Holder

I had previously owned a set of thirsty-stone type coasters, and the last surviving one on the end table had finally broken. I'm an avid SCUBA diver and love octopodes , and when these came up in my search, I had to have them. They are nicely over-sized to accommodate my large, blown glass highball glasses from Mexico, quite well. They also work well for wide-based martini, wine, and margarita glasses! The round design is quite attractive and their cork backing works well to maintain traction on the wooden and glass end tables, on which they are used. The printing of the coasters is also consistent across all six; and I love that there are six, since one always breaks (I have cats in the house!). So far none have fallen to the tile floor, but these seem more durable than my previous set, which had a more granular finish.

Awesome coasters. My wife wasn't a big fan of the design, but I thought it would fit right in with the theme in our living room. We received them and have used them for about a month - these are definitely absorbent! We've had glasses of water and ice on these coasters with a lot of condensation and it has been mostly absorbed. Makes it really easy to clean them as well since they don't stain easily like our previous stainless steel coasters. Really think the design is neat and my wife has changed her mind about these coasters - she loves them now.

Large, with colors & design neutral enough to fit most decor styles. I bought to replace coasters that kept sticking to glasses that get condensation/"sweat" & I was a bit worried that these would do the same as they have a smoother surface than Thirsty Stone coasters. I'm very pleased to report that they do NOT stick at all! They work just like Thirsty Stone but they have a smoother finish that will be easier to just wipe clean.

This is the first set of coasters I've ever bought (finally embracing adulthood!) and I wasn't sure what to expect or look for, but I'm so glad I made the right choice. I love the cork on the bottom so they don't scratch anything and the hard ceramic-like surface feels good to the touch and makes them seem classy. The size is great because it can fit smaller glasses or larger cups. I haven't had any sweaty glasses pool water at the bottom like I thought might happen. I love the design too and the colors are subtle and varied so that they literally blend in any room in my house. I think I'm going to get more!

There are a lot of very weird coaster patterns out there, and I was so thrilled when I found the octopus ocean design. I'd never tried ceramic coasters before, and the price was good, so I gave it a shot. First thing is that my husband was simply thrilled. A nice bonus. Our satisfaction with the coasters has been high. The coaster is very smooth and pleasant to the touch. The water absorption ability is a little weird and magical. And, the cork bottom is nice and smooth on the table, but no so grippy that I can't slide my mug around on the table. So, in summary, we really like these coasters. We've had them a couple weeks, and one of us still often mentions how much we like them. They arrived in perfect condition: no scrapes, chips, etc.

Have had these about six months now - easy to clean, absorbant, and sturdy. ******* UPDATE ***** after 2 years January 2021 After two years most of the coasters are chipped and one is broken in half. This is with heavy, everyday use which included a teen. We loved them enough I’ve ordered another set. I think for the price, the beauty of the design, and the high level of absorption that it’s worth the cost.

They work great and look cool, good quality material too. The only thing is that the colors aren't as crisp and vibrant as the pictures. In reality the colors look more faded in my opinion. But that doesn't bother me, they still look awesome. I spilled a little bit of chocolate ice cream on one but didn't notice till a few days later. I was afraid it might have stained into the ceramic, but it all came clean off with a damp rag without leaving any marks.

It was a rainy Tuesday. The deluge of that day had been pounding my homestead for hours and the property was beginning to flood. Suddenly there was a break in the heavy, impregnated clouds and a sliver of sun shone down upon the oasis of dry decking. It was at that time the faithful carrier of dreams arrived, bringing with him joy and wonderment. I hurriedly dressed in skins that repelled the most horrific of weather and pushed through the small opportunity that God had given me to make it to the pick up location that was my front porch. Pushing myself to exhaustion I stumbled up the steps to behold the bounty that had been delivered. As I ripped into the cardboard that held my loot I gave a cry of relief as I actually gazed upon them for the first time! They were so much more than I could have asked for...Yes...these would do nicely.

Super cute. I love them. Exactly what I needed for those cold drinks on a hot summer day

I received the ugly, smaller coasters the seller uses in one of his sales photos that demonstrates that the coasters he’s supposed to be selling are larger. I received the smaller ones with the dark blue ridiculous looking octopus with the pink star fish etc....They look like a paint by numbers piece instead of what they’re suppose to be selling. Just sell as advertised! Now I need to go through the return process.

Not as advertised. Works great, but even though the title says octopus, I wish I had the squid TBH.

Similar to other reviews on this design, what I received isn't what is pictured. The color is much brighter and the image of the octopus and other details are different. I will be returning the coasters.
