No, this piece is not dishwasher or microwave safe. We recommend hand-washing with a soft cloth and mild soap to preserve the nickel-plated finish.
While the charger is designed primarily as a decorative base for your dinnerware, it is crafted from durable metal. If you choose to serve food directly on it, ensure the items are not acidic or abrasive to protect the metal surface.
To maintain the luster of the nickel plating, wipe the charger clean with a soft, dry cloth after use. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges that could scratch the faux-bois etching.
No, the Ivy & Oak Charger is sold as a single piece. You will need to purchase the desired quantity to complete your table setting.
