Love the set but the decal on one peeled
I still really like this set of coasters. I got them about two years ago but I thought I should write a review because one of them got wet the other day and the entire top decal peeled off. I want you to understand this isn’t very easy to do. However the rest of the coasters are fine and I’ve gotten them wet before without this happening. So odd. I usually use them for candles. So probably just use for decoration rather than practical use.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love these coasters
Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2016
I love these coasters! Super cute! Just have to make sure you wash them occasionally as they can get dirty. Also, the paint started chipping on the brains a couple months in. But they still look good and work well.
