Hester & Cook Placemat

These come as a convenient pad of 24 individual paper sheets. You simply tear off a fresh sheet for each place setting, which makes cleanup as easy as recycling the paper after your meal.

While they are paper, the traditional plaid design and high-quality print give them a polished, festive look that works well for both casual family gatherings and more formal holiday dinners. They serve as a great base layer that you can dress up with nice dinnerware and linens.

They are made of paper, so they are not waterproof. While they will protect your table from crumbs and light surface wear, they won't prevent liquids from soaking through if a spill occurs.

Each individual sheet measures 18.5 inches by 12.5 inches. This size is standard for most dining tables and provides ample room for a full place setting.

You don't need to, but the brand does offer coordinating runners if you want a fully cohesive table design. The placemats look great on their own, but pairing them with a runner can help anchor the center of your table.
