Know before you buy
No, this tray is not food safe. It is designed primarily for decorative display or for serving items that are already contained in bowls, plates, or napkins.
This tray is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the rope detailing and the metal finish, we recommend wiping it down with a soft, dry cloth instead.
Yes, the handles are crafted to be functional as well as decorative. However, because they are made of rope, they are best suited for light to moderate loads rather than heavy items.
The rope is a decorative element and should be kept dry to prevent staining or fraying. If it becomes dusty, a gentle dusting with a soft brush or a quick pass with a vacuum attachment is usually sufficient.
The tray is designed with a stable base to ensure it sits securely on flat surfaces like coffee tables or consoles. The raised rim also helps keep decorative items contained and organized.
