Know before you buy
Yes, the combination of the durable enamel top and the sturdy acacia wood base provides a stable, heat-resistant surface suitable for heavy pots and pans.
To preserve the hand-painted finish and the integrity of the acacia wood, we recommend wiping the trivet clean with a damp cloth. Avoid submerging it in water or placing it in the dishwasher.
The base is designed to sit flat on your countertop, providing a stable foundation. We recommend placing it on a level surface to ensure it remains secure while holding hot cookware.
While the enamel is durable and designed for daily use, it is a hand-painted finish. Treat it with the same care you would for high-quality enamel cookware to prevent scratching or chipping over time.
Absolutely. While it is designed to protect surfaces from heat, its decorative checkered pattern makes it an excellent base for serving bowls, charcuterie boards, or as a permanent accent piece on your kitchen island.
