The Feathered Farmhouse Banana Leaf Table Runner

Because this is a natural fiber product, it should not be machine washed or submerged in water. Simply shake it out to remove crumbs or wipe it down with a slightly damp, soft cloth to spot clean. Allow it to air dry completely before storing or placing it back on the table.

Yes, the hand-woven construction is designed to lie flat. However, because it is made from natural banana leaf, it may arrive slightly curled from packaging; simply unroll it and place a few heavy books on the ends for a few hours to help it settle into a perfectly flat position.

The texture is organic and tactile, as you would expect from natural banana leaf, but it is not abrasive. It provides a sturdy, rustic foundation that is safe for most table surfaces, though you may want to use a felt pad underneath if your table is made of a delicate, easily scratched material.

A 72-inch runner is ideal for a standard six-person dining table, providing enough length to drape slightly over the ends or sit centered with space for place settings. We recommend measuring your table first to ensure you have the desired amount of overhang.

While the banana leaf is durable, we recommend using trivets or heat-resistant placemats for hot serving dishes. Direct, high heat can dry out the natural fibers over time and potentially cause discoloration or brittleness.
