Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Easily transportable, this set of six glass coasters and stand from Global Décor can be placed on a coffee table, buffet, or dining room table. Guests will be delighted by the whimsically frosted design that appears on the flat, glass surface when they remove their beverage. Resting on small non-stick feet, the coasters and stand won't slide around or stick to the bottom of a glass. Chrome accents decorate the matching glass stand that houses each coaster when not in use. For easy cleaning, the coasters can be placed in the dishwasher. Available in a variety of patterns, including circles, squares, flowers, checkerboards, swirls, suns, and martini glasses. --Lea Werbel

3.0 out of 5 stars the coaster are great but the holder sucks, December 7, 2005

I got the set and it looked beautiful when I pulled it out of the box. However, when I placed the coasters in the holder, the sides fell off. I tried everything to glue them back but nothing has worked so far - they keep falling off. So, I now dont even bother with the sides and just place them on the base. The coasters are great though - it's just the holder that sucks!
==================
I'm updating my review and if I could change the star rating I would - I'd bring it down to one star. Within a week or two I realized that glasses stick to the coaster (not because it has stuff spilled on it either). It's almost as if there's a suction action and then you pick up your glass and if you're not paying attention, you also pick up the coaster which proceeds to drop on your table or your foot if you're standing up. 9 out of 10 times we curse at the coasters b/c of this problem. We're buying new coasters this weekend.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great coasters for the price, August 27, 2008

First, I actually bought the "Circle" pattern coasters, but I was unable to find that product listing on Amazon, and the product I own is nearly identical to this.

I've had the coasters for nearly a year, and they're a great set for the price. They do the job, clean up easily, and look great. As other reviewers have stated, depending on the type of cup/glass you set on them, they do occassionally stick to the bottom. But, I've dropped them and haven't been too careful with them, and they seem to be good quality and sturdy, because they haven't chipped, cracked, or broken. Another downside is that, being glass coasters, they are susceptible to scratches, but the scratches are not very noticeable. These coasters have kept up pretty well through frequent use/cleaning, and I would buy another set.

2.0 out of 5 stars Pretty looking optical illusion, mediocre coasters..., May 25, 2010

Oversight on my part...

If you're going to get coasters to absorb liquids that sweat from your cups, pick something other than glass. Leather, wood, and cork would probably be far more suitable options.

While these are pretty and very decorative, they're terrible at doing what they're designed to do, which is keep my table dry. Whenever I put a cold drink on one of these, there's soon water sweating off the glass, onto the coaster, and then pooling on it until it dribbles off onto the table.

These coasters need a lip to prevent spillage and make them useful.

To add a bit more disappointment, the clear rubber feet on each coaster are not put on uniformly, creating an odd staggered look into the optical illusion of having these coasters stacked.

Again, very pretty, but not practical and not terribly useful.
