Let's not talk about leather coasters. Let's talk about the next 50 years.

Of course, we would like to take up the cudgels for MAX's leather glass coaster just as we do for all of our products. Tell you how imperceptibly it blends into almost any interior to provide the best base for your glasses, cups, jugs and vases in a way that is as discreet as it is stylish.

But what we want even more is to fulfill a promise with MAX - namely to do something meaningful for our world, and this is how it works:

We are donating all the profits to a special nature conservation and future initiative: the ancient beech forest project of the well-known forester, conservationist and author Peter Wohlleben ("The Secret Life of Trees" and others). Each coaster finances one square meter of existing, old beech forest for 50 years.

By the way, if you can't decide on a color, choose the black leather coaster. You simply can't go wrong with it. Of course, our heart always burns for the typical leather color cognac. At Good Wilhelm in the studio, we also prefer to place our coffee cup on MAX in cognac. By the way, should a few water stains appear, you can simply wipe them off again. However, if a few stains do appear, they will never look unsightly.

Leather coasters: A good future only grows from strong roots.

Okay, there are now many projects that use trees as CO2 sinks. However, the difference to the primeval forest project is that it is mostly about reforestation with - naturally tiny - trees. On average, it takes at least 20 to 30 years for a tree to become the "crown of oxygen creation". Unfortunately, many seedlings do not even make it that far, and often the long-term development of the cultivation area can neither be controlled nor guaranteed.

Maybe you've already thought of it yourself. Leather coasters are an excellent gift for just about anyone. Not only are you giving 4m² of beech forest for 50 years, which is a great gift in itself, but you are also giving 4 leather coasters. Above all, the coasters can be used and tested straight away. If that's not the coolest gift of the party, we don't know what is.

Buy a coaster. Lease a forest. Preserve biodiversity.

It therefore sounds more than plausible, not only to us, to protect forests that have existed for many centuries and to preserve them as valuable refuges. Many animals and plants need very old trees in order to survive.

In the primeval forest project, an area of forest is leased depending on the amount. This ensures that it is not sold and all the life in it is turned into small wood. Especially now, when timber prices are on the rise, it is all the more important that we protect old-growth forests.

It makes absolutely no sense to plant masses of young trees that will only effectively convert CO2 into oxygen in 20-30 years. Of course, we are not against the planting of new trees, which can make a lot of sense, but it has to be done very carefully. Not only must the right area be found, but also the right type of tree.

Of course, it sounds great when a project or a company plants several football pitches with young trees. But this should not just be a short-term marketing campaign. If the next flood washes away all the young trees because the compensation area is located directly in a flood zone, then you haven't won at all. Our first intention must therefore be to protect the existing forest. Only then should we concentrate on developing new forests.

Not as expected

At the time of my order, the coasters were only available in a pack of four for a total price of 39 euros. Even before I received my delivery (very late delivery, even later response to inquiry), I suddenly discovered the coasters in the online store at the individual price of 9 euros. Strange price scale, that the individual price is cheaper than the four-pack. No answer when I asked about this either.

Conclusion: Very good goods, little service. If you have a problem, it is difficult to solve it. Too bad.

Dear Ms. Krenz,

Thank you for your message and your interest in our products. We are sorry to hear that there have been discrepancies in our communication.

First of all, we would like to inform you that we already replied to your request dated 09.01.2024 on 12.01.2024 at 13:37. Our email may have accidentally ended up in your spam folder. In this message, we informed you that your goods had already been successfully delivered on 10/01/2024. We would like to apologize for the delay in delivery and hope that the goods meet your expectations.

With regard to your question about the pricing of our products, we would like to point out that the product you mentioned is a special NO-PROFIT offer. The profits from this sale flow directly into our beech forest project, which is being realized in cooperation with the renowned forester and author Peter Wohlleben. The aim is to lease old beech forest and thus preserve it in the long term. Further details on this project can be found at the link we sent you in the email: https://goodwilhelm.com/products/leder-untersetzer.

Unfortunately, we noticed that demand for the MAX product fell in 2023, which meant that we were able to lease fewer beechwoods than in the previous year. To counteract this trend, we have developed a new sales strategy that allows our customers to purchase individual coasters. We hope that this change will lead to increased interest and thus generate more support for our environmental project.
The small additional price of 3 EUR (old price in a set of 4) compared to the individual price goes directly towards supporting this important cause. We hope that you will recognize the importance and value of our efforts and see your support as a contribution to a greater, environmentally friendly cause.

If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Yours sincerely from Hamburg,

Your GOOD WILHELM Team
