Slate is a gorgeous material for food presentation, but it tends to be heavy, expensive and difficult to sanitize. The modern restaurant doesn’t have time for those inconveniences, so we created the Black Faux Slate Melamine Platters. Crafted from melamine, they’re durable, lightweight and dishwasher-safe. But as far as your customers will be able to tell at first glance, they look just like the real thing. It might feel like cheating at first, but we promise that feeling will go away once you realize how easy it is to use and reuse these platters night after night.
