Frequently Asked Questions
Why does this wooden tray have metal legs instead of a flat base?
The elevated design serves two purposes: it protects your table surface from heat or moisture from the tray, and it makes it much easier to pick up from a flat surface. The metal fusion legs give this wooden tray a modern, premium look that stands out from standard flat platters.
Is the ribbed carving on the edges just for style?
While the ribbed detailing looks beautiful and adds a hand-crafted feel, it also provides extra texture for your hands. When using it as a serving tray with handles, the carved texture gives you a more secure, non-slip grip while carrying drinks or snacks to your guests.
Is the dark-toned mango wood safe to put food directly on?
Yes, the tray is 100% food-safe. While it’s perfect for holding bowls and plates, you can also use it to serve dry snacks like crackers, nuts, or whole fruits. The rich, dark grain of the mango wood provides a stunning, luxury backdrop for your food presentation.
How do I prevent the wood from warping or the metal legs from rusting?
Since it’s made of natural wood and rust-resistant aluminium, it’s built to last. The secret is to avoid soaking it in water. Simply wipe it with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap, then dry it immediately. This keeps the wood from absorbing moisture and ensures the legs stay sparkling.
Can I use this as a permanent vanity tray for my perfumes?
Absolutely! The 30cm circular shape and elevated legs make it a perfect vanity tray or centre-table organiser. It’s a great way to group your perfumes or candles, turning a cluttered tabletop into a curated, stylish display.
