6 Piece Marble and Wood Coaster Set - Heat-Resistant Square Coasters for Hot and Cold Drinks

The ring left by a hot mug on a wooden table is permanent, and coasters are the cheapest insurance against it. This 6 Piece Marble and Wood Coaster Set pairs real marble with natural wood, giving you something substantial enough to stay where you put it rather than sticking to the bottom of a glass and lifting with it. Marble is naturally cool and heat resistant, which means a fresh cup of coffee will not mark the surface underneath, while condensation from a cold drink sits on the coaster rather than running onto the table. Six is the number that actually works — enough for the coffee table, the desk and a couple of guests without hunting. The marble-and-wood combination reads as considered in both contemporary and classic rooms, and it is durable and reusable rather than something to replace.

Specifications

Buying guide

Coasters fail in two ways: they stick to the glass and lift with it, or they let heat and moisture through to the table anyway. Weight solves the first problem, which is why stone and marble coasters work better than thin cork or fabric ones — they simply stay put. Heat resistance solves the second, and it is the reason to prefer marble if the table underneath is wood you care about. Buy six rather than four if the set will serve a coffee table and a desk, since coasters are the thing that goes missing. On care, marble is porous, so wipe spills rather than leaving them to sit, and avoid harsh acidic cleaners which etch the surface — warm water and a soft cloth is the whole routine. Keep the wood side dry. They also make a very easy gift, since they suit any home and need no sizing. If you want something for hot serving dishes rather than drinks, use a proper trivet, not a coaster.

How it compares

Against cork or fabric coasters, marble is heavier and stays on the table instead of lifting with the glass, and it handles heat far better. Compared with plain wooden coasters, marble resists heat and moisture more effectively, while wood is lighter and cheaper. Against silicone coasters, these look considerably better on a table where guests will see them, though silicone is more forgiving if they will be dropped. For hot pans and serving dishes you want a trivet rather than any coaster.
