Thirstystone Desert Sand Natural Sandstone Coaster 4 Pack
NATURAL SANDSTONE- Sandstone coasters are made from natural sandstone, which is a sedimentary rock composed of sand-sized minerals or rock grains. Sandstone is a sustainable and environmentally friendly material.
UNIQUE PATTERNS- Sandstone has a unique pattern of grains and colors, which makes each coaster a one-of-a-kind piece.
ABSORBENT- Sandstone is naturally absorbent. These Sandstone Coasters will continually absorb condensation from beverages. Sandstone is also heat tolerant, making it a great choice for protecting tables and countertops from hot beverages.
DURABLE- Sandstone is a durable material that can withstand wear and tear from daily use. Sandstone has a natural grip and non-slip surface that keeps glasses and mugs from sliding around when in use.
MEASURES- Each coaster measures 4” diameter. Sandstone coasters are easy to clean with a damp cloth or sponge.

Excellent; Effective Coasters and Very Durable
I have three sets of these coasters – the first set is over 10 years old and was purchased at the Coors brewery and has their logo printed on the coaster. After using that set and being very happy with them for such a long time, I tried to find them again and could not find the exact design any longer, but that search finally led me to finding these natural sandstone coasters here on Amazon, and I like these even better and in fact I’ve purchased two sets of them.According to the Thirstystone website, these are made from sandstone quarried in the U.S., so this is a domestic product.The quality in my experience is really excellent – our original set shows almost no wear aside from some very minimal chipping at the edges, probably due to dropping them from time to time. Since sandstone is a relatively soft stone, I think that you have to expect some risk that they will chip or break if dropped on a very hard surface.The cork backing is solidly attached and well centered on all of the coasters I’ve received. The 10 year old coasters have the cork still solidly attached, as good as new. The coasters are heavy, as you would expect.These coasters are very absorbent although I’ve found that under certain conditions of weather or humidity it is possible to have condensate exceed the ability of the coaster to absorb, and you will get some minor puddling of water on the surface of the coaster. That has not been a problem for me, and your glass is not likely to pick up the coaster no matter how much water might be on it, but it can happen on occasion.There is only one slight negative to these coasters – they are almost a half inch thick including the cork backing, so when you put a glass on one of them, it needs to be centered fully on the coaster. These are not paper thin coasters where you can put your glass down without looking.There are many many styles available for these coasters. I selected this natural sandstone and they are very attractive. There are a couple of other “natural” styles that are also very nice, plus many with designs of various types printed on them. I did some searching on the internet before purchasing here from Amazon, and in addition to the varieties available here from both Amazon itself as well as other third party sellers, I learned that there are even more styles available elsewhere. So if you don’t find what you want here, just know that you can do some internet searching and you may come up with another design that you prefer.The price here was slightly less than what I found at other websites plus the shipping was free and I know that the return policy here on Amazon is unbeatable if you have any problem once they are received.Great coasters.

Great nice looking coaster
I highly recommend these coasters as they are attractive and absorbent. I have expensive wood furniture. We recently had a guest who loves to drink sodas with ice. We were using cork coasters. After a while I had taken her drink away and noticed that the condensation from the glass had gone through and left a terrible white ring on my end table. I immediately found these coasters and they shipped right away. The coaster works perfectly. It is highly absorbent and attractive. I did get some blue drink on one coaster, but after lightly scrubbing with soapy water the stain came out.

One of the best materials for coasters
I’ve had several kinds of drink coasters and these are the ones I’ve come to see as the best. There are two things I feel a proper coaster must do: 1) Absorb condensation from the glass, 2) Stay on the table and not stick to the bottom of the glass when picking up a drink. Sandstone is a superior material that meets both criteria. It’s natural, it looks good, and it feels nice.There’s the possibility that fine glassware could be lightly scratched on these over time. They can be a little fragile if dropped or not properly cared for. Over years of use some water staining can occur. All minor issues in my mind.I have three sets of Thirstystone coasters. They’ve all been great quality. There’s only so many colors to choose from, but nature only gives us so many options.I will continue to buy these over all other coasters. Now if I can only get my guests to use them consistently.

Great concept
I saw these at work and was fascinated at the concept. Typical coasters use plastic or leather; this can protect the table from immediate water contact from condensation but still can collect water and leave a mess. Or they can stick to the bottom of your cup so when you lift it, water runs off the coaster and onto the table.These are made from a porous stone. They actually absorb the water droplets. They also don’t stick to the bottom of a cup. The seem solidly built but I don’t know how well they’d handle a fall. They do look great though, and they’re affordable so I can always replace a set easily if one breaks.Some of the negative reviews say that these lose their effectiveness over time. It’s possible; certainly if you leave water dripping into one for a long time the stone won’t have infinite holding capacity. But I don’t see why they wouldn’t keep working if dried out between uses. I will watch for this and update later if they stop working.

Desert sand coasters
I like the color, they work well absorbing condensation. They are quite thick ( thickest coasters I’ve ever seen), which makes them heavy. In the small side for a coaster but pretty and do what I purchased them for. Probably won’t buy again due to size & weight of them.

As absorbent as I’d hoped
I bought these after ruining a desk with cheap wooden coasters that cracked. They look great, feel great (smoothed sandstone), and most importantly they absorb as much water as I need. A glass full of ice water is no problem for these, which get soaked all the way through with no condensation visible on top. No water makes it to the desk, and there’s nothing to spill when removing the drink, plus they look great unlike those cheap black plastic coaters, so these have definitely served their purpose. I’ll surely be buying more for around the house. A few bucks per coaster is way cheaper than ruining a piece of furniture.After a few days of usage, I did notice something strange – when they’re fully absorbed with water, they have a weird moldy smell when you touch them. This went away after a few more days, so it could be a manufacturing quirk. Either way not really a big deal, as you wouldn’t touch a coaster frequently anyways.

I love sandstone for coasters. Nothing works better, however these were pretty expensive and they are chipped and what-not. I like sandstone, but I think I may look for a different type of coaster next time. The quality doesnt match the cost.

Para quienes quieren algo diferente para portavasos, éstos son a base de piedra y su textura y acabado los hacen parecer madera, son pesados y tienen una base de corcho para no llegar a dañar o rayar alguna superficie delicada. Personalmente me parecen muy buenos sólo me da un poco de incertidumbre que pasa si se caen quizá si se despostillan o llegan a romper.

I was looking for coasters that didn’t hold water as my partner and I drink with ice. These coasters do exactly what they say they do. No more water and sticking glasses to coasters. Highly recommend.
