The edges of these coasters are not as smooth as I would like; also, the texture isn't as smooth as with other coasters. I love the fact that the initials are clear and nice. Makes a great shower gift or a gift for a newly wed.I was happy to find a product with a letter, my last name starts with F, so these are great. Good price, no mess like others I have had that get wet or stick to the bottom of your glass. Wish they'd come in a container though.I really like these. I like the design they use with the lettering. Black lettering with the marble back ground. Also, would make great gift ideas.I made an error in ordering. You recognized and corrected it. Thank you so much.I will be using them when I set a formal table to hold my wine glasses.These are actually brown even though they look blackThese coasters are very durable and my aunt absolutely loves them.Great value for the money. Does what it's intended for and the design is great. I would recommend it.This was a gift for my mom’s new condo and she loves them. They went very well with her decor
