These are great!! They wash easy and I air dry them. No ironing required!!!! They add lots of color so when I use the cloth napkins I can go with several colors. The dark colors are great so you can't see every little mess. I have a 10 year old and a 3 year old and so far they withstand their messes!! When I ordered these they were down to only two sets left and I wish some more would come in maybe with another type of design I would buy at least 6-12 more placemats!!!!! Love em!!!!
