Know before you buy
Yes, the needlepoint is crafted with high-quality French cotton thread and is designed to withstand the daily wear of holding items like keys and coins. However, it is best to avoid placing sharp or heavy metal objects directly on the stitching to maintain the integrity of the pattern.
The tray is not dishwasher safe and should not be submerged in water. To clean, gently wipe the wood frame with a soft, dry cloth and use a lint roller or a soft-bristled brush to carefully remove any dust from the needlepoint surface.
Measuring 9.5 inches by 6 inches, the tray is compact enough to fit on most standard nightstands or dressers without taking up too much surface area. It provides a dedicated spot for your phone, watch, and wallet while keeping your bedside table organized.
The tray features a solid wood construction with a rich Chestnut finish. While it is durable, it is a natural material, so it is recommended to place it on a stable surface and avoid dragging heavy items across the wood to prevent surface scratches.
The tray does not have a dedicated non-slip rubberized base. Because it is made of solid wood, it is best placed on a flat, level surface to ensure it stays securely in place.
