I like these super soft paper placemats. We bought them to use at home. I read most of the reviews and I think some of those people had the notion of what they wanted in their head and expected these placemats to fulfill their idea of the ideal paper placemat. It would be nice if they were wipeable so if you had a small drip you could clean it and use again. But for the price and the fact that the mfg says they are made from 100 recycled tissue makes they a good product.For a single use, like a party, they would be ideal. Also on a tray they would give the dinnerware a non-slide surface. At a glance they really do look like real burlap. Glad I bought them.
