Whistler Placemat

I was a little worried cork would feel rough, but the surface is surprisingly smooth and easy to wipe clean after dinner. It’s also much lighter than my old fabric placemats, which makes setting the table quicker.

These are so lightweight I barely notice them, but the cork surface holds up great under hot plates. The gilded edge adds just enough shine for weeknight dinners without feeling fussy.

The cork surface has just enough give that my glasses don't clink when I set them down, and the gold edge looks way more expensive than it was. Wiped up a coffee ring with a damp cloth and it came right off.
