Amazon Basics Stain and Wrinkle Resistant Cloth Napkins, Beige, 12-Pack

Twelve beige 17-inch napkins for the price of two linen ones. The stain-resistant finish is the honest reason to buy them for a supper club — red wine and gravy come out, and they press flat straight from the dryer, so you are not ironing at 5pm.

Good to know: The finish that resists stains also keeps them slightly crisp; they never get the soft rumpled drape that washed linen develops.
