Artifacts Trading Company Rattan Tray

Yes, the natural rattan construction is durable enough for outdoor use. However, to preserve the whitewashed finish and material integrity, we recommend keeping it in a covered area and bringing it inside during inclement weather.

Simply wipe the tray down with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. If you need a deeper clean, use a damp cloth with mild soap, but be sure to dry it thoroughly immediately afterward to prevent moisture damage.

Because this tray is handwoven from natural materials, slight variations in the weave and shape are expected. While it is designed to be stable, the handcrafted nature means it may not be perfectly uniform like a machine-made item.

The 2-inch raised edge provides a stable border for carrying drinks or snacks, though it is best suited for flat-bottomed glassware. It is also excellent for corralling smaller items like keys, mail, or remotes on a coffee table.

The whitewashed finish is applied to highlight the natural texture of the rattan. You should expect some variation in the color intensity across the weave, which adds to the authentic, coastal character of the piece.
