I love the coasters. They are a little small but everything I've read about soapstone, it will last forever. Plus the artwork is good.

These are such pretty little coasters, and they add a nice touch to our African themed room. The deep red is really nice, and I like the artwork. They are quite small, however, so note the diameter. Also, being handmade, they are not exactly uniform in size, which kind of dictates the order that they will stack in the holder. In my set, the only one that will fit on top is of a kangaroo. Not sure why a kangaroo is thrown in there since I thought they were only in Australia! Maybe I am wrong. But I would much rather display the giraffe!

So. I'm hesitant to criticize these coasters, because they are definitely handmade and far better than any soapstone carving/drawing I could ever hope to do. The drawings of the animals are beautiful. The color is beautiful, and they're definitely a unique touch in our living room. Even the stand has little intricate trees drawn on the side. That being said, you have to put the coasters in a certain order in their holder (at least with our set). If the antelope and zebra coasters are not on top of the stack, they will become stuck in the holder and you cannot use them. Our poor zebra coaster has a scratch on the side because we had to use a knife (literally) to free it. Additionally, the coasters are a tad too small for my large coffee cup, but they work wonderfully for all our our cups and glasses. Would I buy them again? Yes. They're for a good cause and are truly one of a kind. I just wish they all fit perfectly into the stand!

A little pricy but unique and very pretty. Color was very vibrant and a one of a kind feeling regarding the designs.
These really are a treasure. I think I got far more than my money's worth on these. Thank you for sharing these wonderful products with us. Simply delightful.
They looked very neat in the photo. I decided to order a set. I was very surprised when I received them. The artwork was better than what was shown. The craftsmanship was fabulous and the color was stunning. What an absolutely beautiful coaster set! The size and thickness vary slightly but that is what makes them unique as they are handcrafted. They look great on my black coffee table. What a unique accent piece. These are a tremendous value for the money. I would recommend these to anyone looking for a coaster set that is different from anything that you would typically find in a department store.
