The sophisticated contrast between the natural wood and rustic slate creates a stunning centerpiece perfect for entertaining.

Know before you buy
This board is not dishwasher safe. To clean, hand wash with a damp cloth and mild soap, then dry immediately. We recommend periodically applying a food-safe mineral oil to the acacia wood to keep it hydrated and prevent cracking.
While the slate surface is durable, it is primarily designed for serving rather than heavy-duty chopping. Using sharp knives directly on the slate may dull your blades or cause surface scratching over time.
The hollowed section is designed for dry snacks like nuts, crackers, or grapes. While it can hold small amounts of thicker dips, it is not intended for liquid-based sauces or dressings.
No, this board is not oven or microwave safe. The natural materials, particularly the acacia wood, can warp or crack when exposed to high heat or extreme temperature changes.
The product features a flat, stable base, but it does not include rubberized non-slip feet. We recommend placing it on a level surface or using a small placemat underneath if you are concerned about it sliding on polished stone or glass countertops.
