Title: Excellent, Not Perfect
Review: I saw other reviews about scratching, misalignment/small corking, super absorbency. As I was highly motivated by absorbency and style, we bought them and love them for those reasons. They are sandstone (which is why they absorb) - they look smooth but have a rough, sandy quality on the edges and will scratch (tested on inconspicuous area). For the most part, they will not be moved around (even with 5 young kids) so we're not worried about scratching/dropping. The corking is off center on every one displaying a lack of details, but that is not visible and again, primary use is my home office desk and absorbency is key. I'd say the choice is between scratching/protecting furniture or absorbency. Style is amazing.
