Will the condensation from a glass roll right off the sides of this coaster? Basically comparing this (better looking) to something more absorbent?

I do get a bit of condensation from these, but none has rolled off on to the coffee table. I've had them for some time and use them every single night.

There us no lip on the edges. It is simply a rough slate slab. Likely the condensation will stay stuck to the glass-slate interface

No, condensation tends to seep right in. There lies the problem, water stains. It's plain old rock. Slate in general has many thin layers so it tends to absorb moisture. I bought these for the aesthetic appeal as well. :/ I still like the semi-rugged look even with the faint rings being left behind (i try to ignore them). They won't make the classy grade in humid environments.

Worse, not only does it roll off the side, it collects on the felt under the slate. If you have this on a light wooden surface, you will end up with a large black stain.

It is more absorbant than say a plastic coaster but I would not say that it is as absorbant as a cork coaster. It looks nice and does absorb well but it will get saturated with water much faster than a cork coaster.

It won't roll off the side of the coaster and onto whatever table you have underneath the coaster. It will, in my experiences create a wet ring around the edge of the glass but I love these coasters :) They don't absorb but I've never had a problem with condensation from a glass rolling off the sides of the coaster. its a good buy in my opinion :)

There wasn't a warning on the packaging that I received. My set is currently sitting on a hemp table runner and hasn't marked it. I use the coasters on a timber table, no marking there either. The coasters are excellent; they're a generous size and the pimple finish stops glasses and cups from suctioning. If you're concerned about the holder marking your table, you can stick gasket cork (which you can buy from automotive suppliers) to the bottom.

I use this in my bedroom at night, and set it on a wood side table. I have not had any problems with condensation on the table or anything around the diffuser. The mist it emits is so fine that it doesn't seem to settle anywhere in particular, just diffuse into the air.

Personally, I don't get diredtly out of the pool and sit right on them, as I have a foam cushion beneath it. (which would surely get wet.I dry off the best I can with another towel before sitting on o lounger. The y are made of Terri Cloth, so the will absorb all you can throw at it...Hope this helps.

Probably not ideal. The MDF top I believe will eventually succumb to humidity condensation etc.

None at all, , but you do get a little condensation under the lid when you use it.

No. It is not insulated so condensation will form on the outside. Keep it separated by cloth.

My son has used it all summer. I don't recall ever seeing any condensation on the outside. Works great.

I can not see or feel any silicone between the glass sides and the metal base. It appears as if the sealing is done below the metal heating element so it does not come in contact with the water.

Here in Houston, TX it's very muggy throughout the summer, and the high humidity persists pretty much year-round. So far we've seen no condensation on the inside, and the material is pretty stout. I'd think if you move it around from place to place, damage will occur from abrasion, but if it just sits there it seems to hold up fine.

No but there is some condensation that develops between the bottom of the glass and the TOP of the coaster causing it to the glass when you pick it up. This can happen with any coaster in my experience. These work very well for wine bottles on a table, as well.

I just measured mine for you... If your coasters are round, you should just make it. The interior of mine is just over 4-1/4".Good luck with it.

It is nice to have coaster under glass of water regardless. Personally, I used it as decor because its cheap made and breaks easily (it broke when our cat (small) climbed on it) so No I do not think you absolutely need coaster.

The texture is on the upper side of the coaster but this allows it not to stick to the glass. If it was smooth, I think the tendency would allow it to stick to the glass.

I think it will. I use mine in a closed glass shower and it gets a lot of condensation. It is still working great for me after two months using it in this fashion.

No this is not an insulated shaker it works like it should but condensation will appear on the outside so wiping it down before a pour allows you to not add excess water to a good drink

Moderate to strong wind will move these around. I also would not recommend them for use with cold/iced beverages as condensation run-off will cause the wood to crack, warp, and eventually leak. I replaced these with a set of stainless steel coasters and they are awesome.
