Know before you buy
The semi-matte ebonized finish is designed to highlight, rather than hide, the natural oak grain. You will see the texture and character of the wood beneath the dark stain.
While it is designed primarily for organization and display, it can function as a serving piece. However, because it is finished wood, it is best suited for dry items or glassware rather than direct contact with wet or acidic foods.
The Memento trays are designed with consistent proportions that allow smaller sizes to sit neatly within the larger ones. This makes it easy to store them together when not in use or to create a tiered display on a tabletop.
To keep the finish looking its best, wipe the tray down with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or soaking the wood in water, as this can damage the veneer and the ebonized finish.
Yes, the tray is crafted from FSC®-certified oak wood and oak veneer, ensuring the materials are sourced from responsibly managed forests.
