Product Information
Full details
This Tala Set of 4 Lacquered Acacia Square Boards is designed for home cooks and entertainers seeking to protect their tables while adding a rustic and elegant touch to their dining experience. The key benefit is durable, stylish protection against heat and stains. A minor caveat is that while lacquered, prolonged exposure to very wet conditions should still be avoided. These boards are crafted from acacia wood, known for its natural stain and odor resistance, and feature a lacquered finish that enhances the wood's grain. The set includes four square boards, each measuring 25cm x 25cm, suitable for use as coasters, serving platters, or decorative placemats.

FAQs
What material are the boards made from?
The boards are made from lacquered acacia wood.
How large are each of the boards?
Each board measures approximately 25cm (W) x 25cm (L) x 0.8cm (H).
Can I place very hot pans directly on these boards?
The lacquered acacia wood provides protection against hot plates and pans. However, for extremely hot or wet items, it's advisable to use a trivet underneath or ensure the item is not excessively hot to maintain the finish's integrity.
Are these boards dishwasher safe?
No, these boards are not dishwasher safe. They should be hand-washed by wiping with a damp cloth and dried thoroughly.
How should I clean the boards?
Wipe clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Always dry them thoroughly with a soft cloth afterwards.
Can I serve food directly on these boards?
Yes, the boards are suitable for serving food. The acacia wood is naturally resistant to stains and odors. Ensure they are cleaned properly after use.
How do I maintain the lacquered finish?
Wipe clean with a damp cloth and dry immediately. For best results, periodically apply a light coat of food-safe mineral oil to nourish the wood and maintain the finish.
Troubleshooting
Boards appear dull or dry
Apply a thin coat of food-safe mineral oil with a soft cloth and allow it to soak in for a few hours before wiping off any excess. Repeat as needed, perhaps every few months depending on use.
Surface has minor scratches
For very light scratches, buffing gently with a soft cloth might help. For deeper scratches, consider applying a food-safe wood polish or accepting the natural wear as part of the wood's character.
Stains on the surface
Wipe the stain immediately with a damp cloth. For stubborn stains, use a mild soap and water solution, then dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals.
