Product Description
From JR William, a husband-and-wife team based in Queens, New York, these coasters are equal parts surface protection and chic decor. Each one is cut, assembled, and polished by hand, and the color is built into the acrylic at the chemical level (rather than painted or printed on), so it won't scratch off or wear down Read More
Holy heck I need to get into the coaster business. What you have here is twenty cents worth of material in a thirty cent box. 133 sold so far, so that's $2,326 of pure profit. There's not even design overhead, it's just a square piece of plastic. Credit to JR William for liberating money from fools.
WondergeckoEhh, market is too small. Fortunately not that many suckers exist that want a non-porous coaster with absolutely no design merit. Only 137 units sold to date.
These are cheap plastic ones, don't let the sock puppet account fool you. Laser cutting acrylic is only "hard" if you are absolutely new to the machine and material.
Plus it'll be picked up by any glass with a wet, flat surface. Everyone loves picking up their glass only to have the coaster fall in their lap, or worse.
Pretty, and maybe nice for a well-behaved cup of coffee, but these would be useless for any drink/cocktail containing ice, because Acrylic Plastic does not absorb condensation! Which by the way, is why Benjamin Franklin invented the Cocktail Napkin In 1746.
FYI: You can get these off of their website directly for $29, and free shipping. With shipping costs, the Massdrop total came out to be $29.01, and you have to wait another month for it to ship.
After shipping, $28 for 4 coasters?
I personally went to a hardware store, bought some 4" slate tiles (get whatever tile you want) and self-adhesive cork backing. Takes 30 seconds to apply the adhesive to the tile, and voila, coasters.
