Best Coasters Ever
They may not be the prettiest you ever saw, but if your goal is furniture protection and convenience, these are the ones to get. Unlike every other coaster I've ever had, they do not: drip, stick to the glass, or collect water beneath them, making the problem worse. Generously sized to fit even the largest mugs and glasses. They blend in easily on dark wood, are a snap to clean, and the knobby top surface ensures zero runoff! Great design at a great price.

Does the job
Bright almost neon colors with a good variety. Use these for kids water cups. They’re big enough to fit several sizes including a yeti mug. Grooves help catch condensation while thickness helps protect countertops. Easy to clean with some hot soapy water. They are lightweight and have held up to kid use for a year now.Would recommend and would buy again.

Excellent silicone coasters
These coasters are great. Sweaty, drippy drink glasses/cups do well on these. The coasters air dry on their own, and the condensation from drinking glasses/cups doesn't get on the table, desk, etc. I highly recommend these silicone coasters. I have the dark brown ones and the colorful ones.

Bright colors. Durable. Easy to clean. Great design.
Bright colors. Durable. Easy to clean. Great coaster size. Brilliant design contains condensation. The coaster stays in place and doesn’t slide around like other coasters. I needed a small “drying mat” for my child’s rinse cup and this item was a perfect fit for limited counter space in the bathroom. Kids and adults seem to love the bright colors as I’ve received several compliments about the coasters. Item also travels well.

Nice looking and functional
UPDATE 5/29/20: I’ve used these coasters for a couple of days now, and I’ve had to change my 5 star rating, and was really leaning towards reducing to 3. Be very careful using these on wood. Despite being of a decent weight and rubbery material, these somehow manage to get damp underneath them, at least with cold beverages/lots of condensation. The reservoirs work, the water was not overflowing or anything, but twice now I have picked the coaster up to shake out the drippings from my cold cup, and both times there has been an almost light mist on the table in a perfect circle of where the cup was sitting on the coaster. So just check your wooden surfaces after use, or maybe put a napkin underneath the coaster to be safe.These arrived just as described. I bought the brown version, and it’s a nice color and design and look really nice on our dark wood table - they match almost perfectly. They are a good weight and size; they will not slide on the surface, and can easily support large mugs and even bowls. As others have mentioned, these are rubbery in feel, so they do not absorb, but they have a decent depth/reservoir to collect condensation. Anything that doesn’t evaporate on its own can easily be poured out once you are ready, and these dry pretty quickly. I’ve had no issues with spillover so far, and it’s pretty humid here in the upper Midwest right now and I drink iced coffees just about every morning, and iced teas almost daily too, so there’s plenty of condensation happening. I’m really pleased with this purchase. I have not used one to open a jar yet, but I’ll update this review if there are any problems. I cannot imagine it won’t work.

EXCELLENT heavy-duty coasters!
I've used those stone ones, and find they crack easily - or maybe I just get mad easily. 🤷♂️ It's also loud when setting a glass down. And things can slip around easily - both cups on top, and well as the coaster itself. I had taken to using foam tape to keep them in place. They also GET VERY UGLY after a while of using them!I've now taken to using silicone rubber ones. Of course they do not absorb any liquids, but rather they 'cup' the liquid with a rim and use raised bumps to keep your cup above the drippings.The silicone rubber ones stay in place much better. They also keep the cup in place so it will not slide off. They also make it much quieter when putting a cup down. And they do not get ugly easily, but can simply be washed if they do. They will also not cool down a hot ceramic coffee mug.So far, I like the KindGa ones the best, since they are oversized at 4.3" vs. the 4" of most others. And the oval dots pattern of these look better to me compared with other over-sized options I saw. I also like that the rim is level with the bumps. They also have a several colors, along with a 'felt-insert' option.However, before those I had gotten these square ME-FAN ones: https://www.amazon.com/ME-FAN-Coasters-Drinks-Silicone-Square/dp/B0963PCGKP/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8&th=1I like the ME-FAN ones also, since the rounded-square shape is something different - and to me, the pattern is also pleasing. It has a bit smaller footprint for tighter areas, where I think the squared shape can give you a bit more landing area versus round. And the grey goes with my decor.Some notes between these two: The KindGa ones seem to stay in place better on some surfaces, except for one surface where the ME-FAN one grips a bit better for some reason. .... Another note is that the outer lip on the KindGa ones are flat-level with the bumps - whereas with the ME-FAN ones, the outer lip is raised a bit from the bumps. This means that you can lay out several of the KindGA ones in an area in order to have a HUGE LEVEL landing spot for your cup - THINK NIGHT-STAND!! 👌I'm now of the belief that having several different varieties of coasters and colors can be a Nice Thing... Sort of mix things up every once in a while. 👍 But I'm pretty sure any future coasters will all be silicone ones going forward.

Excellent
Great coasters. They don’t slide around the table like many do, which is the best part about these. It makes my cups feel secure. I don’t like coasters that move around easily because then I worry about drinks spilling.I just throw them in with the household laundry when they need to get cleaned, never melted or had issues doing this. I also like that the brown matches my table so that they aren’t obvious. Great color, price and function. Thanks
