The paper feels substantial enough that it didn't tear when my kid dragged his plate across it, and the haunted house shape really anchors the whole table setting for Halloween. We paired it with some plain orange napkins and it looked pulled together without any extra effort.
I bought these to keep my kids busy while we set out dinner for Halloween, and the thick paper held up to a whole meal of crayons and spills without tearing. The die-cut silhouette of the house gives the table a festive look without needing extra decorations.
