Why Choose Lucite?

Lucite gives you a clean, contemporary look that suits a modern table and blends with any decor. It is light and sturdy, does not tarnish like silver or stain like wood, and a quick wipe keeps it clear week after week.

Popular Styles

• Clear minimalist: lets the challah be the centerpiece.
• Leatherite accents: lucite paired with leather for warmth and texture.
• Gold or metal detail: a dressier look for Yom Tov and gifts.
• Board with matching cover and knife: a fully coordinated set.

How to Choose the Right Size

Measure the space your challahs take and add a little margin. A standard board holds two medium challahs comfortably, while a larger board suits Yom Tov challahs or hosting. On a smaller table, a slim or round board keeps things from feeling crowded.

Complete the Set

A matching challah cover and knife pull the table together. Feldart offers coordinated board, cover, and knife sets so everything matches. Not sure which challah cover material to pick? See our guide on leather vs fabric challah covers.
