So I heard you finally built that awesome coffee table you’ve always been blathering on about. Alright, “built” is a bit of a strong word – you really just took a regular store bought coffee table from IKEA, covered it with hundreds of bottle caps (perhaps collected via your fridge magnet bottle opener, eh?), and stuck a piece of glass on top. Hey, we’re not gonna quibble because it’s pretty tremendous. But have you thought about what will happen at the great unveiling? I mean, there’s bound to be some adult beverages served, and since everyone will be congregating around said table, aren’t you a little nervous about its more than likely impending doom? Your new table is vulnerable to all the big baddies – scratches, scuff marks, and yes, quite possibly the most feared by all coffee tables: water marks. Shh, don’t worry, I’ve got a plan that’ll keep your greatest life’s work safe without turning it into an L-7 weenie.
That’s right, the Classic Rock Album Coasters (Stupid.com, $21.99) will not only protect your new piece of artwork, but they’ll do it in style. These aren’t your garden variety coasters, no sir. Each of these coasters is stamped out from an actual vinyl record, making it one of the coolest things to place your drink on since, well, you’re fantastic coffee table. Yeah, $21.99 is a little steep to be paying for a set of four coasters, but come on, these things are freaking amazing. I mean, coasters by nature are resigned to being this boring layer of protection between your drink and your table, which isn’t really fair when you think about it. Why do coasters have such a bad rap? They’re doing you a service, man. You should totally respect them. But it’s hard to respect a flimsy piece of cardboard, so it’s about time coasters got a bit of an overhaul in the trendy department. These are some coasters you can down upon, but in a starry eyed admiration kind of way. With their cork backing making them a sturdy surface and a waterproof coating for lasting protection, it’s hard not to fall in love with them just a little bit.
There are over 50 different bands represented in all their vintage glory, and no two sets are alike. So you can go ahead and order as many as you like without having to worry about duplicates. With that many options, you could order enough to cover your entire coffee table! Wait a second…
