Nothing is quite like the beauty of natural stone. Each organic piece is as individual as a snowflake. J.K. Adams' slate slabs make unique servers, table runners, placemats, and trivets. Identify cheese, appetizers, or dinner guests by writing directly on the slate with chalk or soapstone. Natural edge, full felt backing and easy to refresh with a damp sponge and a dot of mineral oil. Slate should not be used as a cutting board. J.K. Adams stand behind the products they make. If a product does not live up to expectations in material, workmanship, or function for five years, they will replace it.
