Arcadia Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 How about doing it yourself? This style was often homemade in asia https://100things2do.ca/diy-sisal-rope-placemats/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathnerd Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 (edited) Your pottery barn link will not open for me. But, if it is an woven place mat made of jute or coir, my local Target has those (I saw some 10 days ago): https://www.target.com/p/natural-jute-braid-charger-threshold-8482/-/A-51578467 ETA: nvm you asked for a placemat Holder and not placemats!

Excelsior! Academy Posted September 29, 2020 Author Share Posted September 29, 2020 (edited) Those look neat, but I would like to just purchase a pre-made holder. I already have oodles of placemats.

Ellie Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 I don't understand what you're looking for. "Placemats" and "holder" don't fit together in my brain cell. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine, either. My placement holder is a shelf, lol. Or the table. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already have oodles of placemats. Are you looking for storage, or display? I can't see the Pottery Barn one, and can't tell from the other if you want "something I can place on the table, with the placemats in it, so that we can quickly grab them and it looks cute while doing its job" or if you just/mainly want "someplace for the placemats to live when not in use, function over style is fine". If it's the former, I am no help, as I have no idea (maybe a cute hat box/storage box from someplace like Michael's or Hobby Lobby??), if it's function, then would they fit in a vertical file folder thing? Like a magazine rack, file folder stand-up box, etc? (one with tall sides)? Or a cake stand? Cake box? Plate display box/stand? you may just need to get creative with search terms....

I would like something to set on the table, but that would allow changing of different sets. The Pottery Barn basket is the closest I've found so far, but would like 2 or 3 holders. At $70+ each to house inexpensive placemats, it just isn't an investment I want to make. I was hoping to find something similar in style, but more affordable. I like the magazine holder idea. I will research it. Thank you for the idea! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excelsior! Academy Posted September 29, 2020 Author Share Posted September 29, 2020 @TheReader The cake stand and hat box idea is spectacular! Those can be found affordably and easily! Thank you, again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are very welcome 🙂 I'm glad I could help; I habitually use normal objects for odd purposes, so I'm rather used to thinking out of the box like that (I have a napkin holder for my mail, a bread box on its side for my teas & coffee stuff, etc....)

mathnerd Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 (edited) Now that I know that you are looking for the holder: https://www.amazon.com/YANGQIHOME-Rattan-Serving-Handcrafted-Platter/dp/B086C8LS1B there are several of this style on Amazon Edited September 29, 2020 by mathnerd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
73349 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Alternately, if you made a fabric envelope (or one per set in a coordinating color), they would be stackable and washable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
