I have looked for coaster stands as someone did ask the questions where to get them but couldn't find it on the forum. So sorry for the repeat questions but where can I buy them. Thanks in advance Jenny

Justin was doing them, but was changing the manufacturer.

What kind of stands? Individual / 4s or big displays?

I started getting them made but gave up, quality and price just weren't right. Mine are just 4 coaster stands, similar to Xpres etc.

How about something simple like this to fit 100mm coasters?

Gary at wooden jigsaw puzzles should be able to put something together - i have a number of large stands from him for selling mugs and coasters at trade shows but he can do all sorts.

Why not use acrylic/perspex stands? These from ebay work out at £1.50 each and would easily hold four or more coasters. I suppose that if you do a bit searching you may find some sized more to your requirements, and maybe even cheaper. They have the added bonus that you could also use clear stickers to jazz them up a bit.

We used to use loads of these for displaying jigsaws, clocks etc on our market stall. We also used the wire ones that were more or less the same shape.
[EDIT:] My two granddaughters now use a couple of them to stand their tablets on while watching youtube! :biggrin:

Here's a 102mm square hardboard coaster (only coaster I have left!) in one of my stands, which are exactly the same size as the ebay stands posted above -

Maybe something a tad smaller would be more suitable, depending on how many coasters will be stacked. This stand would also easily be able to hold, say, 4 coasters and 4 placemats at once at a guess.

Sorry for taking over this thread, but here's a wire stand alternative that should cope nicely with 4 coasters, £8.55 for 10 and made in Britain.
