Raised Challah Board is 12″ x 16″ and is 3/8 thick. It is raised off the table 1″ which makes it a centerpiece into itself. It sits over the head of the house’s Plate so it doesn’t disturb your beautiful table set. If you are looking for a unique and memorable gift idea that can be used as a special accessory on your dining table or as a decorative item consider presenting your loved ones with a beautiful board. There is an extra thin layer that is on top to protect the art, when it gets scratched you can order a replacement piece to make it new again. Wipe clean with soap and water.
