Lovely addition -- a great mix of formal and informal. Our table is reclaimed pine, and the theme of re-use carries over in these mats. A couple of points: they are re-used roofing tiles, and have nail holes, but they've been sealed and had felt appplied to the back. They are heavy (more than 5 lbs each) and a little flaky around the edges, but that is to be expected. Size is good, color is great, and they make a very dramatic statement. Every guest asks about and complements them, and there's plenty of room for glasses as well as plates and flatware. Photo on table to follow. As a final point -- it's a pleasure to support a great niche business, and customer service is excellent.
