Modular and Magnetic Serving Boards

Abstract

A magnetic and modular serving board is described. The magnetic and modular serving board includes a multitude of an individual sidewall, the sidewall having an inner surface and an outer surface. The individual sidewall is connected together to form a connected sidewall in a polygon shape. The inner perimeter of the connected sidewalls forms a recessed area. A magnet is attached to the outer surface of each individual sidewall. The magnet is arranged along the outer perimeter of the connected sidewalls such that a polarity of one magnet is different from the polarity of the attached magnet of the immediate adjacent sidewall. The magnetic and modular serving board also includes a base extending from a bottom surface. The base matches the polygon shape of the connected walls and sits within the recessed area and inner perimeter of another magnetic and modular serving board.
