Portmeirion Home & Gifts Pimpernel Midnight Slate Coasters, Set of 6, 10.5 x 10.5

There isn't really anything to dislike about these placemats, although the grey slate colour might not appeal to everyone. As regards durability, it's a bit early to judge that as I've only just got them. However, they seem well-made and I'm expecting that they will give me many years of service. Like most placemats with a cork backing, you shouldn't immerse them in water, and you can't put them in the dishwasher. But they are easy to wipe clean and the top surface seems able to cope with expected use if used sensibly.

Good quality placemats. Well made and easily cleaned. However, the description of the colour is slightly misleading. I would have expected midnight slate to be grey and they do look grey on the picture. They are more blue than grey. Maybe a good idea if the seller pointed this out in the description. Good quality so have kept them.

These are midnight slate and look grey with a blue tinge depending on the light. Initially I loved them, but am now editing my review as one year on and they are peeling and not very durable. I bought these as a replacement for the same brand of mats that I bought 15 years ago, but these are just not durable and am already looking for replacements.

Nice placemats and coasters but a lot bluer than I was expecting from the picture on Amazon. Have kept as don’t look too out of place in my new kitchen. But just be aware that they are more blue than grey.

Nice mats for holiday home. Great quality and nice easy clean finish. A bit bluer in colour than expected but still nice.

Scratch easily and chipped within a month. Very disappointing

They are ok! easy

As you can see the mats look great but they chip very easy for the price I expected better

Don’t like them - looks cheap

I'd heard great things about Pimpernel, so I decided to purchase these as I thought they would be a good idea considering I loved the idea of slate placemats but wouldn't want the real thing for various reasons (possible chipping, weight etc). Once they arrived I was pretty damn disappointed... As well made as they were, the quality of the image on top was AWFUL, a completely blurry/out of focus picture. Don't be deceived!

Slate is, well, slate. A darkish grey that adorns the roofs of thousands of homes. The pictures of these placemats are grey. The placemats themselves are blue. Very disappointed.

Really pleased with these placemats. Look stylish.

Lovely quality. Nice and thick so will protect my table nicely.

Good quality and arrived perfectly.

Quality product, but the image and design is a little light and unconvincing.
