Holder guide
Which Thirstystone coaster holder fits your coasters
Two questions settle it: the shape of your coasters and how wide they are. The table below answers both for every holder we make.
Round, square or either
Cups, pedestals and wood boxes are cut to one shape. A round cup will not take a square coaster, and a square box leaves a round one rattling in its corners. Open racks in iron or metal stand the coasters on edge between bars, so they take either shape.
Most of our sandstone sets are 4 inch rounds. The square sets are the Cinnabar and Desert Sand squares, the marble squares, the terrazzo, the sheesham slats and the Texas stoneware.
Four inches or a little more
Our holders are sized for four coasters of about 4 inches. The Victorian Lace rounds and the Texas stoneware squares run to 4 1/4 inches, and the Beagle rounds to 4 1/2. For those, an open rack is the safe choice. The black chrome iron rack is made for coasters from 4 to 4 1/4 inches.
Iron or wood
Iron is heavy and does not tip when you pull a coaster out. Felt under the feet keeps it off a polished top. Wood is warmer and quieter on the table. Either way, let wet coasters dry before they go back in.
