Tools and Hardware Reviews of Reflections Placemats 4-Pack, MerlotCustomer Review: I'm a guy...what do I know about placemats? Summary: 5 Stars
Really, nothing. All I know is I've got an expensive kitchen table, 3 kids, and I'm kind of a slob. I have a wife but she's the neatest of our bunch. I've bought placemats before but I picked them up at Ikea on impluse while meandering towards the exit. Those placemats were cheap and colorful....think neons in pink, blue, yellow, green. My wife said they'd be great for when we eat outside in the summer but they don't match anything in or near our kitchen.
She had me buy these. Yes, I did what she said...no, she's not the boss of me but marriage is give and take, you know? If 8 "merlot"-colored placemats (aka "red") make her a little happier then who am I to argue? Even if they are what I'd consider pricey for a few rectangles of fabric. Heck, I just went and bought MLB '11 The Show PS3 and called it even (like I said, give and take...I gave her placemats and took a videogame for myself). Now, if you look at my other reviews you'll see I spend a lot of time in the kichen, and I do love to cook. I just don't need everything to match...I only care if things work.
The mats look like they do in the picture but they're stiff. Flexible, yes...it just feels like there's a sheet of plastic in the middle. They're 13" x 18" by the way, something I didn't see in the product description.
All the other reviews talked about how liquids bead up on the mats so I was interested to see what would happen at dinner time with the kids. I was disappointed when all they did was slop food on the mat. So much for keeping them clean...
One trip through the wash, though, and they look like new. The food came right off without staining and now the mats aren't as stiff. What's really nice is after washing the mats still lay flat. My beloved (inexpensive) Ikea mats tend to curl at the edges and corners. I can't speak to how the stains will come out of the other colors but our red, I mean "merlot", mats look great.
These are pretty good mats, as placemats go, and if you need something durable I don't know how you'd find anything better than these.
Description of Reflections Placemats 4-Pack, MerlotTruly innovative microfiber fabric In spite of their sophisticated appearance, the Reflections linens are remarkably practical. They wash up in the machine for easy care, and their 100 percent polyester microfiber design causes liquids to bead up, so spills are a minimal problem. Styled with a subtle geometrical flair, the pieces feature a single hue with rectangles of contrasting finishes. Available in tablecloths of numerous sizes and shapes, the line also includes napkins and placemats for a fully dressed table. The range of colors is great for all seasons and occasions, and each piece features a finished hem for durability. --Emily Bedard
