More importantly, with the recent ease of COVID-19 measures starting from 26 April 2022, there is no longer a limit on the number of visitors per household!

Nothing is more infuriating than watching your guest place their drinks next to your pile of coasters instead of on one. It surely is not that difficult, and yet the coffee and wine glass ring marks on your table say otherwise. The first coasters were designed for decanters or wine bottles, so that they could be slid (or "coasted") around the dinner table after the servants had retired. They were in common use after about 1760. Early coasters took the form of a shallow tray or dish made of wood, paper-mache, silver or silver plate. So, what exactly is the use of a wooden coaster?

The marry of ideas and technology can be made possible with a CNC Machine. CNC Machining is a cost-effective way to increase efficiency in the workplace. Here are 5 advantages that CNC Machining can offer: 1. Productivity The ability to programme a CNC machine to perform a complex series of actions, means you can often step away while the machine gets to work. This allows automated machining even in odd hours during certain set-ups, hugely increasing productivity and rate of output. This is particularly true when purchasing with Zen Koen, where there is no minimum order quantity (MOQ) for your products. Talk to us to find out more: hello@zenkoen.sg. 2.
