Great Until You Use Them,
By kathanya (WI, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lipper Bamboo Collection 7-Piece Coaster Set (Kitchen)
I bought the Lipper Bamboo Coaster set because I love the look of bamboo products. However, I've had these coasters for a few months now and overall I'm not very impressed.
At first glance the coasters look really nice, but upon a closer inspection they are indeed roughly made like others have already mentioned. Now if that was the only problem, then I would still like these coasters because it makes them more natural looking. But, after using 3 of the 6 coasters I have noticed large water stains as a result of my glasses sweating. This has made the coasters look horrible. In addition to becoming stained with heavy use, the coasters do not absorb water at all. So if you have glasses that sweat a lot, you are going to end up with a pool of water that can leak off the coasters. Final Note: If you want a coaster that actually absorbs water, then stay away from these bamboo coasters. If you don't want to spend the extra to get the better sandstone ones, then I would recommend you try the AbsorbaStone coaster. AbsorbaStone is equivalently priced to these bamboo coasters, and they are a lot more functional.

Trendy & Fun,
This review is from: Lipper Bamboo Collection 7-Piece Coaster Set (Kitchen)
We were looking for a coaster set to set out when entertaining & decided to try this one & have gotten more compliments than ever! The style keeps them trendy & they are a good weight that they don't slip or spin while in use.
They are wide enough to be comfortable with almost any glass & a wet paper towel can clean them off easily so that after each event we can clean them to look new again. The reason for only four stars is that there isn't an upper lip around the outside edge to help catch extra sweat from the glass. The inside ridges do help some, so we haven't experianced any major problems yet. I usually go through after the event & quick dry off any water spots I see & I can say that these coasters do greatly help prevent water marks & so far, anything that's left behind is too little to stay permanent.

A fun and useful set for families with small children,
By Pool Enthusiast (I am on the front porch reading The New York Times.) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE)
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Lipper Bamboo Collection 7-Piece Coaster Set (Kitchen)
When we opened the package, they had a slight smell to them. It was not completely pleasant, but not repulsive either. The coasters and holder are a slightly lighter golden honey color than in the photograph on the website.
They have a smooth finish and a appearance that children can not resist. They look almost like really big checkers. They also make a pleasant sound when they are dropped back into the holder or banged together. I have a feeling that these are going to end up all over the house, from the little ones playing with them. Maybe I need to order an extra set, for that purpose. :) We like them. The bottom of the holder has three fuzzy velvet like protective stickers on it, so that it does not damage whatever surface that you store these on. That was a nice surprise.
