Casually woven checks in sage green and beige update a classic motif with soft tones and optical interest. Each placemat is woven of PVC yarns treated with TerraStrand, a proprietary compound that's phthalate-free and contains renewable vegetable compounds that replace petroleum-based plasticizers used to soften yarns. Microban antimicrobial protection shields the runner against bacteria, mold and mildew that cause stains and odors.
