Iowa State University Gear NCAA Sportula Products Boaster Coaster
Iowa State University Gear NCAA Sportula Products Boaster Coaster
- Unique laser-cut design
- Heavy-duty stainless steel
- Strong cork backer
- Set of Four
Boasters are a set of 4 Heavy-Duty Coasters made from stainless steel
and have a strong cork backer. They are the perfect compliment to its
Sportula counterpart.
Cool design but shoddy performance. A standard glass of water with ice
cubes in it will result in enough condensation to completely soak
through the thin layer of cork under this coaster, resulting in the
table getting wet. I could honestly just end the review here--after all,
what is the purpose of a coaster but to keep your table dry?
Even from a cosmetic standpoint, the sleek metal design stops being sleek the moment a droplet of water touches its surface, leaving streaks and marks. For sure not that well thought out. Less annoyingly - but equally head-scratchingly - the cork layer will get physically stained and moldy looking after you unsuspectingly leave it on your coffee table, sopping wet, for too long.
Ultimately, this product resulted in my expensive coffee table getting warped in a tiny spot from water damage. Not the end of the world, but never buying a product from "Sportula" (...Jesus, a pun that is as terrible as it is unclear in comedic direction) again.
