Know before you buy
Because the tray is crafted from natural raffia, it is best to keep it away from direct moisture or spills. Simply dust it gently with a soft, dry cloth to maintain its appearance.
This piece is designed primarily as a decorative accent or a catch-all tray. We recommend using it for display or serving items that are already contained in bowls or on plates rather than placing food directly on the woven surface.
The tray features a sturdy steel frame that provides structural integrity and weight. This ensures the piece remains stable and durable while maintaining its delicate, artisanal aesthetic.
Yes, because each tray is handcrafted using natural fibers, slight variations in color and weave are expected. These unique characteristics are a hallmark of the artisanal process and ensure that no two pieces are exactly alike.
The Blue Crab Tray includes a 90-day warranty that covers any manufacturing damage or defects. Please inspect your item upon arrival to ensure it meets our quality standards.
