Each trivet is crafted in a unique wavy shape and made in neutral plum, taupe, and cream tones; they'll elevate your kitchen for any season. Place a trivet on your countertop or kitchen table surface, then place your hot pan/plate on top. The trivets are designed to protect surfaces from damage when placing hot pots, pans, or serving dishes. They will act as a barrier, preventing burns, heat marks, and scratches on your surface.
