When I'm working in the evening, I keep a pot of tea beside me on an antique washstand. I wanted something that would be both attractive and effective in protecting the wood finish on the washstand. This succeeded in doing both.Reasonably priced and promptly delivered as well. Very pleased with this purchase.Lovely design. Very happy with it. I keep it out on my counter as it adds color as well as its intended use as a pot holder. Like that it is washable. Highly recommend this product.Love this product! The colors are vibrant and it adds to the table. Protects surfaces as it should and is non slip. Also thankful to see it is made in the United States.I was expecting a resin trivet. This is a silicone disc. My fault for not reading description closer. It is too cute to send back. Not very noticeable on my kitchen counter.Thick silicone. Works as trivet and as pad to protect countertops.
