KindGaCoasters for Drinks Black, Absorbent Rubber Coaster Set, Silicone Drink Coasters for Large Mug/Cup/Bottle, Deep Tray 4.3 Inch Oval Shape Jar Opener Heat-Resistant Grips (Set of 8)

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.

These coasters are great. The best property of these coasters is that cups do not stick to the coaster after resting on it for a period of time. I have used wooden and cork coasters and they have a tendency to stick to cups, especially sweaty cups, after the cups rests on the coaster for some time. These silicone coasters have texturing that prevents this and it also has capacity to hold a decent amount of liquid in the coaster from slight spills or sweating from the cup. The colors create a fun atmosphere and it makes the coasters easy to see/find. Highly recommend these coasters.

Great quality! Look great on table, colorful!

These coasters are what I’ve been looking for, for far too long! They’re thick and durable, deep notches to collect any condensation, washable and just look sleek and modern. I absolutely love them! They also don’t stick to the bottom of your glass when lifting up your cup, which I’ve had issues with other brands in the past.

I ordered a set of these coasters several years ago and they are still in fantastic shape, so I just ordered 2 more sets of the same coasters. Very easy to clean, just pop them in the dishwasher. Fantastic coasters!

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.

As described

These are exactly what I wanted cute nice colors and will last long and easy to clean!

These are the best coasters I have ever purchased so far. Easy to clean, big anough for cups and glasses, can handle sweat from cold drinks and protect the table surface from shock (on glass surfaces) and any other surfaces. They don't stick on the bottom of glasses or cups even with hot of coffee. They also fit in with my modern decor.

My office papers were always getting wet from all the ice in my water bottles. So glad I finally bought these. Seriously why did it take me so long to purchase this. Dry papers

Bought these for the summer as drinks sweat a lot out in the sun. I think these will be great. Lots of room for the moisture to go

Quite good

I liked this product as it kept any condensation or drips in the channels. washing was a bit harder but patience I guess. No more water stains or pools of water next to the keyboard.
