Graf Lantz Wool Coasters Evaluate

My mother-in-law should’ve sensed the change that’d come over me, as a result of she gifted me a pack of those Graf Lantz wool coasters. I like the colours: oxblood purple, avocado inexperienced, space-age teal, and a mustardy yellow. Very Danish fashionable. The thick wool building prevents even the weepiest cans from leaving moon-shaped rings on my desk. Moisture stays on high of the wool, and if a drip of wine or juice does soak in, it’s straightforward sufficient to identify clear with a humid paper towel and a contact of dish cleaning soap. 

And so they’ve turn out to be stylish: Practically each boutique kitchen retailer in Rhode Island (the place I reside) is promoting stacks of Graf Lantz coasters. My sister-in-law’s buddy was gifted a set for Christmas, and my coworker Rochelle Bilow additionally owns a set. “I discovered these coasters the nice, old school method: an web seek for ‘finest coasters.’ Boy, did Google hit the mark,” she says. “I purchased a set in gray-green hues known as ‘Forest,’ then instantly bought one other as a result of they’re so fairly and useful. I preserve a couple of on my desk for the multitude of drinks I require to get via the workday. They’ve soaked up their justifiable share of spilled espresso and kombucha and nonetheless look brand-new.”
