Do people still use coasters?

Question

Do people still use coasters?

Answer 1

yep.  

But when I don't have a coaster I use those round plastic lids from yogurt or chip contatiners.

Answer 2

I have a set of coasters but they are mainly just for show. I dont have any expensive tables that actually need them to be used on.

Answer 3

I use them all the time.

Answer 4

Why wouldn't they?

Drinks still contain liquid.  Liquid still leave a mark on wood.  Even the most careful person can't compete with nature - IE condensation.

Just because you don't, why would we stop?

Answer 5

They do in my house.

I even have these neat ceremic ones that when the glass sweats, the coater stays dry.

Answer 6

yep

Answer 7

i knew this girl who had a coaster for her coaster because it was this expensive deorative thingy. too bad it fell and broke.

as for me i dont use em because by the time it actually does damage the wooden table, i'd either be dead, or have bought a new table.

Answer 8

No one better set their drink down on my furniture if there is not a coaster underneath it. Not only does it ruin my wood furniture, but it leaves nasty marks on my non-wood furniture.

Answer 15

Answer 16

I have a set of coasters they are awesome

Answer 17

Yes, we always use coasters. Everyone should especially on wood furniture which stains very quickly if you don't use one. And to get the stain out you need to have the piece of furniture sanded down and refinished.

I am using one right now!!!

Answer 18

yessssssssssssss

Answer 19

only if u want to protect your furniture and if u don't care about it, just buy a new one when it starts to look ugly or just ignore it...

Answer 20

yup,  only on wood or glass

Answer 21

I do on my desks, coffee tables, and end tables - I do not use them at the dining table, though.

Answer 22

Yep, I'm using one right now. Mum gets VERY cranky if we leave coffee rings on her beautiful indian coffee table. Coasters are great, they save wooden furniture from damage and they save you from having to get up and clean the coffee rings off : )

Answer 23

coasters aren't a fashion statement, they are practical and neccessary. I don't think that  we'll ever stop using them.
