Peter,
I'm shocked to see you recommend IKEA!
Have you not suffered from (physical) IKEA catalogue spam the same way we have
over here?
(BTW, trying to contact IKEA to get it sorted was very much like trying to
contact Google except that Google doesn't have sacrificial call centre workers
in a different country to intercept the complaints and lose them, Google just
doesn't take calls from anyone.)
Regards,
Peter Coghlan.

Maybe the idea is that when the top gets marked, you can sand it down and
paint it again multiple times so you don't need to use those matching
coasters that are so hard to get nowadays?

I like it!
The ratios are wrong: it's about twice as thick as it ought to be. It's
apparently been designed by somebody who has seen a picture of a floppy but
never used one.
But I hate the price.
Get a LACK table from IKEA (?6.99) and adorn it with 3D prints, or even old
floppies? I'd advise against trying to machine patterns into it though as
that low-end stuff is basically made of laminated cheese.
