Aluminum Desk Coaster — Custom Acrylic EDC Tray
2020 Aluminum + 5mm Acrylic — Not Rubber, Not Plastic

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is 2020 aluminum profile, and why is it used for a desk coaster?
2020 aluminum profile is the European standard 20mm × 20mm extruded aluminum channel — the same material used in CNC machine frames, industrial equipment, and maker builds. Using 2020 aluminum profile for a desk coaster gives it a structural rigidity and weight that no rubber or plastic coaster can match. The result is a coaster that stays exactly where you put it, looks like a premium industrial design piece, and lasts for decades.
Q: What is the difference between 2020 aluminum profile and regular aluminum?
Regular aluminum refers to the raw metal in various forms. 2020 aluminum profile is a specific extruded channel format — 20mm × 20mm with a T-slot groove running along each face. This precision extrusion gives the HushLume desk coaster its clean, angular industrial aesthetic and structural rigidity. It is the same standard used in industrial machinery and maker builds worldwide.
Q: Does this coaster use chrome-plated carbon steel shafts like the monitor riser?
No — the desk coaster uses a 2020 aluminum profile frame rather than chrome-plated carbon steel shafts. Chrome-plated carbon steel optical shafts are used in HushLume's monitor risers and display stands, where precision rigidity under load is critical. The desk coaster uses 2020 aluminum profile for its structural frame, which provides the right weight and rigidity for a desk surface accessory.
Q: Can this be used as an EDC tray?
Yes. The flat 5mm acrylic surface is an ideal staging area for everyday carry items — keys, coins, watches, rings, and small accessories. The 4" × 4" footprint fits neatly on any desk corner without taking up workspace. The 13oz weight means it won't shift when you drop items onto it.
Q: What acrylic colors are available?
Custom colors are available — solid colors, translucent panels, and gradient finishes. Include your color preference in Order Notes at checkout, or message us and we'll help you match your desk setup.
