Thirstystone, Multicolor Brand-Cinnabar Natural Sandstone-Durable Stone with Varying Patterns, Every Coaster is an Original, Sand

Coasters look lovely and the stone is absorbent as advertised. This also means the coasters do not stick to the bottom of your glass. Corked bottom so they do not scuff your furniture. Worth the price. Highly recommend.

The first pack of four arrived with two slightly damaged: when I reported this to the seller I was promptly refunded without any fuss or difficulty so I’m going to order more. Meanwhile I’ve been testing the good ones and I don’t understand why some other reviewers say they don’t absorb water properly: they soak up even quite large amounts of condensation on an ice filled glass with no trouble at all and never end up stuck to the bottom of the glass as many coasters do.

Good looking sandstone with a padded base. Absorbs condensation from your drink to a point; after that it pools on top, but the texture and weight means it doesn’t get stuck to the base of your glass.

The coasters work brilliantly. I hated the paper drip mats my husband used, so these are perfect.

Muy bonitos y absorben sin problema toda el agua que escurre del vaso así que tus muebles no se mojarán nunca.

I have had these coasters for about 2 months now and use them every day. These are great coasters for my desk. They look good, they work as expected, and they don’t mark up my desk. I keep several types of beverages on my desk throughout the work day. Mornings is always a hot cup of coffee in a conventional coffee mug, lunch time is usually an iced drink, in the afternoons a hot cup of tea, and I always have a bottle of water. These stones fit the bill perfectly. If you are looking for super absorbent coasters then look elsewhere, these are porous stones, and they hold a limited amount of fluid. When my iced drink sweats I can see a ring of moisture developing on the stone, but I have never had the stone leak water onto my desk. I keep a professional appearance in my office and these stones are certainly attractive looking and don’t distract for the clean orderly way I like my office (much better than the folded napkins I was using). I like the pink sandstone look, not too pink. The grains of the stone are very nice, one of my stones has a little swirl in it, all of them are “flawed” in some way, but that adds to the natural look. It actually complements the wood grain of my desk nicely despite the contrasting colors of the pinkish coaster and my dark wood desk. They aren’t very heavy so you can easily slide them around your desk, the cork under the stone protects my desk surface from scratching. Also they aren’t so light that you might accidentally pick them up with your cup should they stick due to moisture, this is a common issue which fabric and plastic type coasters. Negatives, one of my coasters has developed a dark ring after repeatedly using the same coaster with a sweaty iced drink over several weeks. The only reason I can notice it is because I looked for discoloration before writing this review, I don’t really consider it an issues. They may also be prone to breaking if you dropped them on a hard surface, I dropped one from about 3 feet onto my carpeted floor and it was fine. I also feel the picture of the coaster that Thirsty Stone put on the product page may be a little misleading to some buyers. The images shows a sandstone coaster with several swirls in the stone, this is unlikely to be the case on the stones you buy and wasn’t on the ones I received. My coasters have a few swirls here and there but are mainly straight grains, doesn’t bother me, it is what I expected. I would definitely buy these again if there was a reason to. And, I would recommend them to coworkers that have expressed interest, but I like being the only one with these coasters, so I just smile and say thanks when they complement them.

These are priced and marketed as high end coasters however after just four weeks of use the edges are chipping off from the cycles of it getting wet then drying. These are not high end coasters the quality is not commensurate with the price.

I sottobicchieri sono belli, peccato che arrivano danneggiati. Ho ordinato questo articolo per ben due volte ed è arrivato danneggiato entrambe le volte. L'imballaggio non è adeguato.

Excellent drink coasters, especially for the hot humid climate in Queensland, Australia. Lovely colours & patterns on the sandstone. Was concerned that they may have arrived broken but were very well packed. Very pleased I purchased. Thank you!
