FAQs

Is this cutlery set dishwasher safe?

No, the Les-Ottomans Rattan Cutlery Set is strictly hand wash only. The rattan handles can be damaged by prolonged exposure to water and heat in a dishwasher.

How many pieces are included in this set?

This set includes five pieces of cutlery. Typically, this would refer to a knife, fork, spoon, teaspoon, and possibly another serving utensil, or a set for one person.

What material are the handles made of?

The handles are made of natural rattan, known for its textured, woven appearance.

Can I use this cutlery for everyday meals?

Yes, while they offer an artisanal aesthetic, they are designed for use. However, due to the care instructions, they are best suited for those who appreciate hand-wash items for unique pieces.

Will the multicolor rattan color fade?

Natural rattan can be sensitive to direct sunlight. Storing the cutlery away from prolonged direct sunlight will help maintain the integrity and color of the rattan.

Can I buy individual pieces to add to the set?

This guide focuses on the set as provided. For purchasing individual pieces, please refer to the retailer's specific product offerings or contact Les-Ottomans customer service.

Are the metal parts stainless steel?

The product description does not specify the exact metal type for the cutlery. However, for durability and resistance to tarnish, it is typically a high-quality metal suitable for cutlery.

Troubleshooting

Rattan handle feels rough or splintered.

This is a characteristic of natural rattan. Ensure it is clean and dry. Gentle buffing with a very fine-grit sandpaper may help if a specific spot is problematic, but use with extreme caution to avoid damaging the weave.

Stains on the rattan handles.

For minor stains, try gently wiping with a slightly damp cloth. For tougher stains, a very mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by thorough drying. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive moisture.

Cutlery tarnishes.

Most metal cutlery can be polished using a standard metal polish. Be careful to protect the rattan handles during the polishing process, perhaps by wrapping them in a soft cloth.

Food residue trapped in the weave.

Use a soft brush, like an old toothbrush, to gently dislodge any food particles from the woven texture after washing. Ensure the item is completely dry afterwards.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This cutlery set requires no assembly. It is ready to use straight out of the packaging.

Compatibility: Designed for use with standard dinnerware. While the aesthetic pairs well with natural materials like wood, ceramics, and linen, it can also provide a striking contrast with minimalist settings.

Care: To maintain the beauty and integrity of the rattan handles:

  1. Hand wash only. Use a soft sponge and mild detergent.
  2. Wash the metal parts and immediately dry the rattan handles thoroughly with a soft cloth.
  3. Avoid soaking the handles in water.
  4. Do not place in the dishwasher, microwave, or oven.
  5. Store in a dry place.
