Best For
Busy hosts who want an easy, stylish upgrade. This platter works for cocktail nights, picnic charcuterie, holiday cheese boards, cookie spreads, and dessert trays. It fits small countertops and travels well for potlucks thanks to its rectangular form factor.
If you care about natural materials, food safety, and a rustic kitchen decor vibe, this 14 x 10 acacia wood serving platter is a smart pick. It handles soft cheeses, cured meats, crackers, and fruit without feeling flimsy.
Key Features & Real-World Use
- 100% natural acacia wood – Food-grade, sustainable hardwood with a unique grain so every board looks original.
- 14″ x 10″ rectangular size – Big enough for a two-person charcuterie or a dessert tray, yet compact for everyday use and storage.
- No toxic finishes – Free from BPA, PVC, and harmful coatings for safe contact with cheese and snacks.
- Durable and knife-friendly – Dense acacia resists knife marks better than softer woods, preserving both look and surface integrity.
- Versatile styling – Works as a cheese board, appetizer plate, cookie tray, or decorative kitchen centerpiece.
How to Choose
Pick with these quick criteria in mind.
- Material and finish – Choose food-grade acacia with natural oil or wax finish. Trade-off: untreated wood needs occasional oiling but stays non-toxic.
- Size and shape – Rectangle fits baguettes and cookie rows; round boards are better for circular cheeses. Consider countertop space before you buy.
- Durability vs weight – Thicker acacia resists warping but can be heavier for travel. For portable entertaining, choose a mid-weight board.
- Maintenance – Look for boards that respond well to hand-washing and periodic conditioning with mineral oil or cutting board oil.
Quick Setup & Use
- Unbox and inspect the grain and finish for any shipping scuffs.
- Hand-wash with mild soap and warm water; dry immediately to avoid warping.
- Condition once with food-safe mineral oil to revive luster and protect the surface.
- Style with parchment or cheese knives, arrange meats, cheeses, crackers, and fruit.
- After use, wipe clean, oil occasionally, and store flat in a dry spot.
Buyer Doubts Solved

Need it for parties and photos? The natural grain and rectangular shape create a polished, Instagram-ready spread every time.
