Weathered Abaca Tray

Abaca is a durable natural fiber derived from a relative of the banana plant, known for its strength and flexibility. When woven and reinforced with a mild steel frame, it creates a sturdy, lightweight tray that is perfect for everyday use.

Yes, the tray features a stable, woven base that provides a reliable surface for glassware and small plates. However, because it is a natural fiber, it is best suited for stable items rather than balancing tall, precarious objects.

To keep the tray in good condition, simply wipe it down with a soft, dry cloth as needed. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or soaking the tray in water, as moisture can damage the natural fibers and the finish.

The integrated handles are designed for standard serving tasks, such as carrying drinks or snacks from the kitchen to the living room. While they are sturdy, we recommend supporting the base of the tray when carrying heavier items.

The finish is applied to be durable and colorfast under normal conditions. However, as with any handcrafted item featuring a washed finish, it is always a good idea to ensure the surface is dry before placing it on delicate or light-colored fabrics.
