Like others have mentioned, the product is quite thin.
However, I use it with an actual coaster and it looks neat.
Don't expect to just use it raw as is. This more-so complements regular coasters.
The changing images happens when you vertically tilt it. I was hoping it would animated horizontally so that when you tilt your head, Gura would also lean side-to-side.

I got the "Marshmallow Animal Hug Pillows Love M" for my Mother as a gift for Mother's day.
The plush is really soft and fluffy, perfect for someone who likes to relax.
If you want a soft gift for someone, or even a cute pillow for yourself, the Nemu Nemu Animals are great.
