It's a drink coaster, it's supposed to hold moisture
It's supposed to hold moisture without wicking it down to the wooden surface underneath.
The goal is to keep water off the furniture that may be damaged by it, so it soaks up that water and holds it against the wood underneath thats not really ideal
Could probably solve that by glueing something impermeable underneath, no?

A coaster?
What is your table but a coaster on legs?
It's coasters all the way down.
And what is a table but a big turtle made of wood?
What are turtles except motile coasters?
Butler turtles, I like it! They bring and then hold your beverages
That's why we're just coasting along.
What is beneath it you ask? Why a house on the ground (that's two more coasters), which is standing on four elephants - another, very very huge coaster. All this so we don't have to worry about spilling our drinks over the giant turtle that carries it all.
Even the great turtle evolved to grow a coaster on its back
I think gluing something to the bottom will stop the mouth opening mechanism, unfortunately.
Might need to pin something to a loop at the bottom instead.
Certainly! :)
it's supposed to protect the surface of the table not only from moisture, but also scratches and stuff.
