Product Description

Thirstystone quarries their sandstone for the Coasters in the Southwestern United States using the most environmentally conscious methods to extract the sandstone boulders that will be crafted into Thirstystone coasters. Thirstystone Sandstone Coasters are among the finest in the world, due to their incredible absorbing ability. The unusual nature of the porous sandstone literally absorbs messy drips from beverages without leaking onto furniture. They also do not lose their ability to absorb over time. The Coasters come in a set of 4, with each one being 4" in diameter and 3/8" thick. Each has a cork back so as not to scratch surfaces.

Was so tired of my old coasters that just drop on the floor as you lift the glass .

This one works perfectly. I was a bit concerned about the fake euro cheap design, but it is innocent enough, blends in well with the furniture.

Have had it for several months and am getting more.

I saw other reviews about scratching, misalignment/small corking, super absorbency. As I was highly motivated by absorbency and style, we bought them and love them for those reasons. They are sandstone (which is why they absorb) - they look smooth but have a rough, sandy quality on the edges and will scratch (tested on inconspicuous area). For the most part, they will not be moved around (even with 5 young kids) so we're not worried about scratching/dropping. The corking is off center on every one displaying a lack of details, but that is not visible and again, primary use is my home office desk and absorbency is key. I'd say the choice is between scratching/protecting furniture or absorbency. Style is amazing.

These things simply soak up everything. The only thing I don't like is that mine seem to be chipping on the edges more than I'd like. I wouldn't trade them though, they work great!
