The whole idea behind coasters is to protect your furniture from water rings and stains, but most standard coasters end up wearing out and need to be replaced after a while. MetalPress Coasters are a solution to this problem. The sleek and ultra modern set combines solid aluminum for maximum durability with cork backs that keep the coasters in place and ensure your surface is safe from scratches. The aluminum top is etched with beautiful designs that gives it its modern look, and the black paint, which is applied below the surface so it will never bleed, makes the details of the embossed designs pop. The set is complete with a beautiful handmade wood base available in 6 different wood species that you can pick from to match your decor. The craftsmanship and high standard quality of MetalPress will make them pretty much the last coaster set you’ll ever need! You can pre-order your set right now at Kickstarter.com.
