Review on 🕊️ CoasterStone Victorian Lace Absorbent Stone Coasters, Set of 4 in White by Richard Summerall

We bought these coasters for my office because I bought a new desk and was worried about customers, kids and even myself putting drinks on the table and the could ruin the surface. Now that I've been using these stands for about two months, I feel I can provide an accurate view of their performance. Pros: Absorbent! I'm not sure where the moisture goes, but whenever I've had a mug, glass, or jar with condensation on the outside, I've watched it drip onto the stand and the water disappear. Usually a wet track stays on a roller coaster for a while, but that doesn't last very long either. Even with paper cups, the coasters absorbed the condensation that formed. I even tried pouring some water on the coaster and it soaked everything. They work exactly as advertised and I love it. Calm! You don't see it in the photos, but each coaster has cork on the bottom of the coaster. So they lay silently on the table and my new table didn't have a single scratch as a result. Durability - Several times I brought my kids to the office and they put their drinks on coasters. They didn't actively play with them, but kids always seem to be tougher than adults. The coasters felt great even when small children were moving them around and not setting them up as carefully as possible. You can see in the photo I took that the edges of the design are slightly discolored. Personally, this doesn't bother me as it seems to me that the color change reflects its usefulness more than what makes it bad. However, if color continuity is important, this should be taken into account. The box has instructions on how to minimize and clean the stains and I may not have soaked them enough but I didn't see much of a difference on minor scuffs. Overall I love these coasters. I feel like they have a certain personality and are very absorbing.
