I have had these coasters for about 2 months now and use them every day. These are great coasters for my desk. They look good, they work as expected, and they don’t mark up my desk. I keep several types of beverages on my desk throughout the work day. Mornings is always a hot cup of coffee in a conventional coffee mug, lunch time is usually an iced drink, in the afternoons a hot cup of tea, and I always have a bottle of water. These stones fit the bill perfectly. If you are looking for super absorbent coasters then look elsewhere, these are porous stones, and they hold a limited amount of fluid. When my iced drink sweats I can see a ring of moisture developing on the stone, but I have never had the stone leak water onto my desk. I keep a professional appearance in my office and these stones are certainly attractive looking and don’t distract for the clean orderly way I like my office (much better than the folded napkins I was using). I like the pink sandstone look, not too pink. The grains of the stone are very nice, one of my stones has a little swirl in it, all of them are “flawed” in some way, but that adds to the natural look. It actually complements the wood grain of my desk nicely despite the contrasting colors of the pinkish coaster and my dark wood desk. They aren’t very heavy so you can easily slide them around your desk, the cork under the stone protects my desk surface from scratching. Also they aren’t so light that you might accidentally pick them up with your cup should they stick due to moisture, this is a common issue which fabric and plastic type coasters.
Negatives, one of my coasters has developed a dark ring after repeatedly using the same coaster with a sweaty iced drink over several weeks. The only reason I can notice it is because I looked for discoloration before writing this review, I don’t really consider it an issues. They may also be prone to breaking if you dropped them on a hard surface, I dropped one from about 3 feet onto my carpeted floor and it was fine. I also feel the picture of the coaster that Thirsty Stone put on the product page may be a little misleading to some buyers. The images shows a sandstone coaster with several swirls in the stone, this is unlikely to be the case on the stones you buy and wasn’t on the ones I received. My coasters have a few swirls here and there but are mainly straight grains, doesn’t bother me, it is what I expected.
I would definitely buy these again if there was a reason to. And, I would recommend them to coworkers that have expressed interest, but I like being the only one with these coasters, so I just smile and say thanks when they complement them.

Manufacturing issues makes quality vs price a concern
Update: I saw these in the local grocery/housegoods store for half the price of what there are sold for here. More reason to not spend the $ here for the quality received.I have sandstone coasters (different brand, bought elsewhere) which I love, and I and was happy to find these to expand the number I have. They work as well as the ones I already owned, and were packed well to avoid breakage in shipping. As other reviewers have mentioned, being a natural product they come in a variety of natural designs; see photo. These are the cinnabar color.Now for the downside. There is definitely lack of consistency in manufacturing. In my initial set, one was cracked, and it was not from shipping. I ordered a second set, and in that set is the center coaster in the photo, which does not look finished - the grooves of what is used to cut the stone are still visible, far more so than on the others. The thickness of the coasters varies by 1/8", and some have little chips, which, on the one hand, I would expect from sandstone, but on the other - well, my other sandstone coasters do not have.So - are they worth getting? I would say yes, but only if you have time to get a second set if there are issues with the first set. Which is why, even though I would want to receive them as a gift, I believe it would be hard to give them as a gift unless you can verify the quality first. It's really a balance of price vs quality that you have to discern. Thus the 3 stars overall.
