Twine Square Slate Coasters, Modern Square Coasters, Slate with Velvet Backing, Protect Tables and Surfaces, Black, Set of 4

The reassuring hardness of glass lightly touching down on stone, the cool ring of moisture left on slate as your drink effortlessly rises to quench your thirst: these are as much a part of the experience of enjoying a relaxing moment as anything else. It's true that drink coasters are merely one part of the whole that includes great company and uplifting beverages. However, any experienced host or hostess knows that it's the details that sometimes matter most. This set of four 4"x4" coasters gives you the stylish landing you need to rest anything from a glass of wine to a frosty mug of beer, and it's this same versatility that makes them an excellent gift. Finding the best coasters for drinks is about more than style. There's practical necessity to coasters as well. Anyone who's ever had a plastic coaster hitch a ride on the bottom of a glass knows the frustration of a wet lap full of condensation and the shortcomings of some coasters. Slate has that rare combination of elegance and functionality. These coasters are beautiful, with natural-cut edges and deep, muted neutral tones that complement nearly any decor. They're also beneficiaries of some of the useful material properties of slate. Heft, of course, prevents the coaster from traveling where it isn't wanted. There's also a figurative weight: These coasters lend as much gravitas to a crystal glass of scotch as they give stony authenticity to a draught of beer. The stone also absorbs significant moisture, allowing summer drinks to sweat excessively before the water pools out onto your surfaces. These coasters further protect your tables or countertops with a smooth layer of velvet backing.
