Product Information
Full details
This 12-piece Hexagon Slate Placemats & Coasters Set from Argon Tableware is ideal for homeowners and restaurateurs looking to add a touch of rustic elegance to their dining settings. The key benefit is its durable, natural slate construction that protects surfaces while offering a stylish aesthetic. A minor consideration is that, being natural slate, each piece will have unique variations in texture and edge, which contributes to its charm but means no two items are exactly alike. The set includes 6 placemats and 6 coasters, all in a versatile dark grey hue.

FAQs
What material are the placemats and coasters made from?
They are made from 100% natural slate, which gives them their unique texture and appearance.
How many placemats and coasters are included in the set?
The set includes 6 placemats and 6 coasters, totaling 12 pieces.
Are these placemats and coasters heat resistant?
Yes, the natural slate material offers good heat resistance, making them suitable for placing hot dishes or mugs on.
Can I put these in the dishwasher?
No, these placemats and coasters are not dishwasher safe. They should be cleaned by hand with a damp cloth.
Will each piece look exactly the same?
Due to the natural slate material and raw edge finish, each piece will have unique variations in color, texture, and edge detail. This uniqueness is part of their charm.
What are the dimensions of the placemats and coasters?
Each placemat measures 260mm in diameter, and each coaster measures 85mm in diameter. The thickness is approximately 0.5 cm.
How do I clean them if they get stained?
Wipe with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild detergent diluted with water, then wipe clean and dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Troubleshooting
Placemat/coaster feels uneven or rocks on the table.
Ensure all 4 padded feet are present and at the same height. Natural slate can have minor surface variations; if significant, try placing it on a different spot on the table or consider rearranging the set for best placement.
White marks or residue appear on the slate.
This is likely mineral deposit from water. Clean gently with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. For tougher marks, a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water can be used sparingly, followed by rinsing with a damp cloth and drying.
Slate edges appear chipped.
Handle the placemats and coasters with care, especially when placing them on or removing them from the table, to avoid impacting the raw edges. Minor chips on the rustic edge are part of the natural aesthetic; if a larger chip occurs, ensure no sharp fragments remain.
A faint ring from a wet glass persists after drying.
While slate is heat-resistant, prolonged exposure to moisture can sometimes leave temporary marks. Ensure glasses are not left sitting for excessive periods. If a mark remains, try gently buffing the area with a dry, soft cloth.
