Know before you buy
No, this tray is not food-safe. It is designed for use with plates, bowls, or mugs rather than direct contact with food items.
The tray features integrated folding legs that tuck neatly underneath the base. This allows the tray to lay flat, making it easy to slide into a closet or under a bed when not in use.
Yes, the satin-finish anodized aluminum is simple to maintain. You can wipe it down with a soft, damp cloth, but please note that it is not dishwasher safe.
The tray is crafted to develop a unique patina as it ages, which is a characteristic of the high-quality anodized aluminum. This natural weathering process adds to the tray's classic, mid-century aesthetic.
The tray is sturdy and provides a solid surface for light tasks like reading or using a laptop. However, since the surface is smooth aluminum, it does not have a non-slip coating, so you may want to use a mousepad or mat for extra grip.
