About this item:
Thirstystone Cinnabar All Natural Sandstone 4 Pack Coaster Set with Protective Cork Backing. Sandstone coasters are a popular choice for their natural and earthy look. 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. Sandstone has a unique pattern of grains and colors, which makes each coaster a one-of-a-kind piece. 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. Each coaster measures 4.25” diameter. Sandstone coasters are easy to clean with a damp cloth or sponge.

5.0 out of 5 stars Real natural stone ABSORBS! - beautiful cinnamon color
Exactly what I wanted - natural sandstone. No fake picture glued to the front; this is the real thing. It absorbs quite a bit of condensation, as opposed to the condensation just sitting on top of the coaster. Also, it is heavy enough that it (almost) always stays put instead of sticking to a glass when one picks it up. I have had it lift a few times when it was soaked and there was still a lot of water on it. I drink tons of ice water. I have had sandstone coasters before and I ROTATE them so as to not allow them to stay wet. That can cause a dark circle that may be semi-permanent or permanent (mold? mildew? simple discoloration). NOTE: I have NOT had these do that, but I do rotate them - have 3 on my desk for near constant use. Probably one is good for 2 - 3 hours.Great color - name is appropriate - a cinnamon type tone.Cork on back protects furniture.Some have complained about chips along edges. I have to look hard to find a blemish on mine - maybe 1 or 2 less than 1/32 inch ? It's natural. Not a problem for me anyway. But no noticeable nicks.Some complain of them scratching furniture. I suppose that could be a problem. My furniture is natural / oil finish - so whenever there is a scratch from whatever source - a quick oil wipe fixes it. The cork bottom won't scratch, but if layed down at an angle and the bottom edge of the stone touches the furniture first with any pressure or movement, it's very possible. Stone = conglomerated sand = sandpaper.Will definitely get these again if still available when these wear out/ break. Best way I've found to absorb condensation here in the humid south.
5.0 out of 5 stars Coffee on the Rocks (or Sandstones)
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.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great coasters!
I've gone through a lot of wood and cork coasters and silicone and felt coasters looking for something I like that won't cause a mess from sweating glasses. These are the best! They will soak up a ton of moisture from a glass of ice water in the southern heat and humidity with no problem. They do need to be allowed to dry out between uses or they might develop a mildew ring under the glass.They can be cleaned but you probably want to avoid getting the cork bottom soaked while cleaning.I love the natural look with no embellishments, but I'm sure the ones with designs are just as functional if that's more your thing.
5.0 out of 5 stars Oh yeah~~ Just what I was looking for
Very very good coasters, oh man! I love these. They look cool, they feel cool. They are cool. :) They only slightly absorb the condensation from a cold drink sitting on top of them, which is good that they don't stain but also don't build up the condensation and let it run off onto the table/surface the coaster in on. These are quite a good size too, in my opinion, fitting quite a large mug on them just barely. Very good for day to day use and quite presentable to guests. The top of the coaster has enough friction that your cup will not move easily at all and the bottom of the coaster, THANK GOD, has cork, which is softer than other coasters meaning you can't move the coaster easily on accident when picking up your cup but also can move if you push it gently to another location on your table/surface. I highly recommend these!!
Great coasters
Love these coasters, very pretty, very absorbent, my parents had them and I loved them so I got some too, now I need more.
Danneggiato
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.
Súper buenos
Muy bonitos y absorben sin problema toda el agua que escurre del vaso así que tus muebles no se mojarán nunca.
Absorbent and beautiful
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.
Great coasters.
Great coasters.Really sturdy and soak up any spilt liquid.
