Know before you buy
The tray measures 9.5 inches long, 6 inches wide, and 1.4 inches high, making it a compact size suitable for most nightstands or console tables.
The needlepoint is set directly into the solid chestnut wood frame. Because it is an exposed textile inlay, it is best used for dry items like keys, coins, or jewelry rather than liquids or food.
Because the inlay is crafted from delicate French cotton thread, it should be kept dry. You can gently dust the needlepoint with a soft, dry brush or a clean, lint-free cloth if necessary.
Yes, the solid chestnut wood frame provides a sturdy base for daily use. It is designed to hold everyday essentials like keys and wallets, though you should avoid placing heavy or sharp objects directly on the needlepoint surface to maintain its appearance.
The chestnut wood features a natural finish. You can maintain its luster by occasionally wiping it with a soft cloth, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners that could damage the wood or the surrounding needlepoint.
