I got a new coffee table the other day. Oh man, you should have seen this thing, it was beautiful. I say “was” because about five minutes after I had that table in my living room, it was scratched. I don’t really know how it happened, but I’m guessing the culprit was one of my coasters. See, I bought a coaster set specifically so that my new table wouldn’t get scratched, but I can be a little cheap so of course I bought the most inexpensive set I could find. I guess you could say that was a mistake.
A wiser, yet still pretty cost-effective, choice would have been the Rewritable Magnetic Coasters (Vat19, $9.95). A set of four, these coasters will not only keep your table free of scratches and moisture-rings, but also help you and your friends keep track of whose drink is whose. Each coaster has a dry erase section on the front so that you can write you name on it, thereby distinguished your drink from all the rest (and without any of those silly charms or coozie outfits). Because the marker is dry erase, it comes off with a little bit of water and elbow grease, but won’t budge if a few drops of condensation come its way. These coasters also feature a recessed magnet, so you can store them on the fridge when not in use – perhaps writing handy little notes or grocery items on them?
The memorial service for my coffee table will be held this Saturday at 3pm.
