Know before you buy
These coasters are crafted from absorbent stone, which is designed to soak up condensation from your glass rather than letting it pool on top. This helps prevent water from dripping onto your furniture.
Yes, the cork backing provides a soft, non-slip grip that keeps the coasters securely in place while protecting your wood or glass surfaces from scratches.
Each coaster measures 4.25 inches in diameter. This size is standard for most drinkware, including standard coffee mugs, wine glasses, and tumblers.
These coasters are designed specifically for indoor use. The absorbent stone material is best kept in a controlled environment to maintain its integrity and appearance over time.
Because the stone is absorbent, it is best to wipe them down with a damp cloth. Avoid submerging them in water or using harsh chemicals, as the stone may retain moisture or become discolored.
