Product Information
Full details
The Olympia Utensil Tin is designed for café owners, restaurant staff, and home entertainers who need a durable, reliable solution for organizing cutlery during outdoor service. Its primary benefit is the weighted, cylindrical design that keeps napkins and utensils upright and secure against gusty winds, ensuring a tidy table setting in busy environments. However, while the galvanised steel construction offers excellent durability, the material may be prone to water spots or oxidation if left in direct contact with standing water for extended periods without drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No assembly is required for the Olympia Utensil Tin; it is ready to use immediately upon removal from packaging. For ongoing care, clean the surface using a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid using abrasive sponges that may scratch the grey finish. After washing, ensure the tin is thoroughly dried before re-use, especially if it has been exposed to salt air or high humidity. For longevity, it is recommended to store the tins in a dry area when the establishment is closed for the evening, rather than leaving them exposed to the elements overnight.
