Thanks for your suggestions! I'll have to consult with the other half, but we'll definitely be getting one of these.

Doesn't putting a big opening in the middle of a placemat defeat the function?

That's actually kind of amazing.

The runner key looks like it would bend or snap off too easily. Other than that... kind of interesting.

Totally agree with HeyNowTex, thought I was the only one who liked the bins. I'm all about blending old and new though. I guess that's not for everyone. Meredith--if you're happy with how they look...
