Design Ideas Branch Mat, Qingke Wood, Brown Review

These placemats are definitely interesting looking and are a great idea. Unfortunately, I don't think the design was thought all the way through as it relates to actual use as a placemat.

When I got these, the first thing I noticed was how rough (meaning not straight) the edges were. You can actually kind of see this from the picture on the product page, but I hadn't noticed. You definitely notice that when they're sitting on a table with straight edges. I was able to live with that, though, even if it did make them look sort of cheaply made. I'll also give them credit for ensuring that the wood tiles stick well to the felt backing. I haven't had a single piece fall off.

The real problems come when you want to use them as functional placemats. Problem number one is that any little crumbs or bits of food that fall into the cracks between the wood tiles can be challenging to get out, so before long you've either invested a substantial amount of time manually cleaning each placemat after every use or they're just getting kind of gross. The second problem is if you have a spill of liquid onto a placemat. My niece spilled some pulpy orange juice on one the other night and not only is it nearly impossible to get the pulp off of the semi-rough wood tiles (not to mention underneath them), but if the felt gets wet, it shrinks very substantially when it dries. I tried to clean that one as carefully as possible with minimum use of water and just laid it out to dry, but the felt is shrinking and making the wood tiles bunch together and begin to overlap each other. I think that placemat is a goner at this point.

I give these four stars for decorative placemats and two stars as functional placemats, which I'm averaging out to a three overall.
