ThirstystoneSandstone Coasters, 4 inch round, Plain Natural

These coasters are a little pricier than your usual coaster but these are by far the best coasters I've ever bought. They are super absorbent and condensation never leaks. Glasses don't slide on them and they dry pretty quickly. It's a very minimalist look but fits in great with any surface.

I was hesitant on these due to the price but the are WORTH IT! I have never found a coaster that actually absorbs and doesn’t end up sweating onto the table. These truly absorb all of the moisture and then dry on their own for further use. Would highly recommend if you are wanting to protect your tabletop surfaces. Plus they are pretty which is a nice benefit!

Sometimes it's the little things in life that make a difference, such as having the right coasters that actually absorb water and thereby protect your furniture. I live in Florida, and if I have a glass with ice it will invariably produce water outside of the glass. I have marble and teak furniture, both of which are sealed but I still don't want to take a chance on water spots. This little coaster absorbs the water inside of the stone before it gets anywhere near the cork bottom. Also, the coasters all looks nice. A great overall product!

I had some of these years ago that were from Luxor In Las Vegas, NV and I loved them. Those had no cork underneath and scratched my tables to no end. These are exactly as they are advertised. I have them on my bedside tables and in my family room. The cork on the underside is absolutely what is needed to make these the perfect coaster. It is very thirsty and it does not get so absorbed that it becomes saturated. That is what can be very frustrating for using a coaster for an extended period of time, say for a party. When I have used them while watching a movie and I have a drink that sweats A LOT, rest assured that the Thirstystone will not become this soggy, drippy mess that eventually will leak onto your furniture. I also sleep with ice water at my bedside. In the morning the ice has melted and the glass has sweated but Thirstystone does not let that leak on your surfaces to ruin them.

We just bought new living room furniture, and we don't want them to get ruined by water rings. We knew we needed coasters that: (1) collect all the condensation from frosty glasses, (2) look cool, and (3) would not become a snack for our mischievous dog who ate our last coasters. These coasters met all of our requirements.These coasters are nice and heavy and easy to clean (if necessary). They are backed with a piece of cork to keep them from scratching your furniture. The cork piece does not go all the way to the edges, which I prefer because you can't see the cork, but it does make it possible for you to scratch your furniture if you don't handle the coasters correctly.Thirstystone has a huge selection of coasters, but I liked these because they are the only truly natural coasters they sell. The others all have images or stone markings printed onto the plain sandstone coasters. The image shown for this product makes it look like it has uniform speckles across the surface of the stone, but the plain natural sandstone coasters have natural variations in their markings and colors. This makes each one unique.Here are the care instructions that come with the product:* Coasters may need occasional cleaning.* Rinse in cool, clear water and allow to air dry.* You can use a mild detergent on old or stubborn stains - rinse - air dry.* Do not use a dishwasher to clean - extreme heat and abrasion will cause the cork backing to deteriorate.

I love these, they do their job very well. I would advice you stay away from using these as coasters for juices or coffee as they’re a little difficult to clean.

I drink iced coffee every day and always dealt with the sweating cups dripping all over my table. These actually absorb everything and have nice cork on the bottom too! Definitely recommend

Just bought a 3rd set. I have them scattered around my house. Look great with my contemporary/natural minimalist decor and do their job as described. No more water rings to wipe up!

No drips on table

Our previous Thirstystone coasters lasted for about 30 years but one of them finally became stained so we decided to buy some new ones. They arrived in perfect shape, although the Thirstystone box was quite damaged (the shipping box was in perfect condition). In terms of absorbing liquid, they work just as well as their predecessors.To reduce confusion, these are sandstone material and sandstone color, not multicolor. Amazon has grouped two different coaster colors in the same webpage which is not a problem; however, Amazon then calls the sandstone coloured coasters multicolor, which they are not.
