Each set contains 4 laser engraved coasters. Each Coaster is made of slate and measures roughly 100mmx100mm (4in.x4in). Given that slate is a natural product, each coaster has it’s own character and will engrave on the laser differently. Although the designs are the same, the coasters that are sent may differ some from the pictures.
