Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Agate Coasters (Set of 4)
Customer Review: Too small, among other things
Summary: 2 Stars
Thought these were a really unusual and gorgeous way of keeping things from being set directly on my glass coffee table. Wrong! Here are my issues with them:
1) They do not absorb liquid, so if something wet is placed on them the liquid is going to simply roll off the agate and onto the coffee table. Example: a typical cup from a fast food joint when the ice melts and condenses on the outside of the cup. That made its way to my coffee table pretty quick.
2) They are too small. I wouldn't put anything bigger on them than a shot glass or a wine glass. Yes, they can handle a pint glass (or equivalent) but that's cutting it pretty close.
3) No rubber feet at the bottom to protect a glass coffee table, which I assume many people have. Basically you're putting an item with a glassy surface directly on glass. No good! That is asking for scratches.
Oh well. Nice idea but poorly executed.
