After reading other reviews for the Benson Mills Cork Placemats, I ordered them. They were a great bargain, and look elegant on my table. I am completely satisfied with them, showed them to friends and told them to go to Amazom.com to order a set.

I did a lot of shopping around, and Amazon had the best deal on these by far. With the free shipping alone, I saved quite a bit compared to the prices on eBay. I only gave them 4 stars, because they are not as nice as the Pimpernel placemats I usually get. The picture looks more "sticker-y" and shiney. Also, one has little air holes that you can see if you hold it up to the light. However, they are very nice for the price! I did receive one damaged, but the exchange was relatively hassel free.

I needed placemats that could be wiped off instead of laundered and also protect the wood from very warm serving dishes. I have not tried them with a dish straight out of the oven as I'm not sure they're thick enough. Extremely hot dishes would probably damage the printed surface too. Not crazy about the design, would have preferred a solid color or something more contemporary.
