The other review rating these DII placemats as a 1 is a mistake of Amazon; the low rating is for the plastic placemats only, not the cotton. These ribbed cotton placemats are the real deal--thick, sturdy, washable, and dryable in the machine and on the line. I've purchased these for years and I'm still using the original buys. They're great basics--freeing you to have fun with all kinds of napkins. I have Luna ware--solid pottery china in different colors, like Fiesta--and it's fun to mix and match the different dish colors with the various placemat colors. I've seen similar solid-colored cotton placemats at big-box stores that are cheaper at $1.99 each, but they're too thin. These DII ones are just the right weight. Since discovering this brand, I've taken most of my others to Goodwill--even cotton, washable ones that aren't practical in the end because they curl up and/or wrinkle, such as ones from April Cornell. I use these DII placemats every day, and wash them once a week.

These mats were the absolutely perfect color I searched for all over the internet. They were impossible to find, and lo and behold, there they were! I'm very happy with them and wish I could find a matching tablecloth! They were delivered promptly, are a good size, and are washable to boot. What more could one ask for?

I am very pleased with this product. The color is actually true to what is shown on the web site. Compared to other sites or stores, it was an excellent price. I would highly recommend this product.

These placemats are very nice, exactly as pictured, durable. But once you wash them, they don't retain their initial flat shape very well without persistent ironing.

I have off-white square dishes and they look very attractive on these black placemats. I just laundered them for the first time yesterday; having had some made of a similar fabric, I hung them by skirt hangers rather than toss them in the dryer - they look OK now but I'd want to iron them before using them for company. Oh, and be sure to peel off the paper labels before laundering; pieces of them will be all over the other darks in the load if you don't. All in all, I'm glad I got them, and with the caveats above, recommend them. Now to find the appropriate napkins....

I needed to replace some placemats that were part of a set. The whole table setting consisted of eggplant colored ribbed placemat, printed beige silk placemat with beautiful screened printing of foliage (green and eggplant).. as well as linen printed napkins and solid eggplant cloth napkins. In each setting, the two napkins were fanned and held at the end with a braided antique gold napkin ring.

The set was gorgeous and I did not want to throw everything away, just because the ribbed eggplant colored placemats had been damaged during the move.

These replacement egglant ribbed placemats were PERFECT. The set is again complete and my table setting is gorgeous. Funny how one seemingly plain item can make or break an entire dining room table.

When I first got these I loved them. The color was perfect and they were a good stiffness. They looked nice. I bought 8 of them so I had some to use while I was laundering them. All of them rolled terribly the first time I washed them. I hate to iron so I don't know if they iron well. I would not recommend these at all, what's the point if you can't clean them.

I ordered these placemats in the natural color. It turned out to be more like a yellow, which I didn't like, but the recipients kept them anyway.

The color was described and pictured as lemon yellow. When I got them, they were more of a goldenrod color. Did NOT match the rest of my table linens which are actually lemon color. If they had matched, then I would have kept them because they seem to be good quality.

I used these placemats for only about two weeks. I through them out when I found new better ones. These are made of criss-cross strips of plastic and are hard to clean. Water or other liquids get trapped in between and stay wet. Also when received they had/have a terrible smell.
