Sauder furniture looks really nice and is durable but what you do not want to do is put a glass or coffee cup on it, leaving a ring or scratching it. For quite a while I used a plate as a coaster. In the back of my mind, though, I was a yearning for a couple of black coasters that would not scratch the desk surface if someone slid them. Hmm.

Ever discovered that the answer to your problem was right in front of you? That is what happened to me. I was making a pot of coffee – Ducks ‘n a Row RUNS on coffee 🙂 – and looked at the plastic lid in my hand. “Oh my goodness – a black COASTER!” I exclaimed. The size was perfect. The color was perfect. It was soft plastic and unlikely to scratch a desktop. And, I am an avid enough coffee drinker that I would soon have a whole set.

Another went under my hot cup of coffee. Perfect!
