JK Adams Charcoal Slate Riser

JK Adams Charcoal Slate Riser Frequently Asked Questions

What is the JK Adams Charcoal Slate Riser and what is it used for?

The Charcoal Slate Riser is a thick, durable riser board (typically around 1½″ thick) made from sustainably-harvested hardwood and finished in a rich charcoal stain. It’s designed as a buffet riser, display platform, or serving board in kitchen, dining, or entertaining spaces—ideal for elevating dishes, platters or décor elements on a table or countertop.

What are the material and size details of the riser?

The riser is crafted from hardwood (typically maple or cherry depending on the specific product line) with a charcoal-stained finish that gives it slate-like appearance while preserving the grain. Its dimensions are approximately 18″ by 6″ by 1½″ (or close depending on model) according to the listing at.

How can I use the riser in my entertaining or home décor setup?

You can place the riser on your buffet table to add height and visual interest to serving platters, desserts, or décor. It also works on kitchen islands, in living room display areas or as part of a layered tablescape. The charcoal finish adds a modern, elevated touch while the hardwood construction makes it sturdy.

Is the riser food-safe, and how do I clean or maintain it?

Yes—the hardwood board is treated and finished for food use, but because it has a charcoal stain, avoid using it as a rough cutting board for high-volume cutting—its primary design is display/serve. Clean it by wiping with a damp cloth, mild dish soap if needed, then dry thoroughly. Avoid soaking or submerging in water, and periodically apply food-safe mineral oil to maintain the surface.

What should I check before purchasing this riser?

Confirm: the size fits your tabletop or serving space; the charcoal finish matches or complements your existing décor; the riser will be used for display or serving (not heavy chopping); and check any clearance or return policy—some kitchen-serveware items may be final sale. Review shipping and any care instructions.
