The Christmas tree board for the hour before guests arrive

The numbers that decide it are 13.8 by 11.2 inches and 0.8 inches thick. Those are the outer measurements of this acacia wood board, cut in the outline of a Christmas tree. The listing describes it as reversible, made from 100% natural acacia wood, with a polished surface.

Because the board is shaped like a tree, the 13.8 by 11.2 inch footprint is a bounding box, not a rectangle of usable space. A tree outline narrows toward the top, so the wide base holds the most food and the tip holds the least. The listing gives no weight, no capacity figure and no measurement of the usable area, so the outer dimensions are the only hard numbers available.

At 0.8 inches thick, the board is a substantial piece of wood rather than a thin tray. The listing calls it sturdy and says it is built from premium hardwood, which is a description, not a test result. It calls the wood strong and durable, but gives no hardness rating or load figure, so treat that as description, not measurement. Care is stated as a simple hand wash and a soft cloth. The listing does not mention a food safe finish, oil treatment or dishwasher use.

The reversible design gives two display faces, and the listing suggests appetizers, cheeses, crackers, cookies, fruit and candies. It does not say what finish is on the surface beyond finely polished, nor whether either side has a juice groove or a handle. It is sold as a serving board and decorative piece, which suits a holiday table or a hostess gift.
