Aylesford Cream Nesting Tray, Set of 5

Yes, these trays involve light customer assembly to ensure the handles are securely attached. This simple step ensures that each piece is structurally sound and ready for both displaying knick-knacks and serving as a functional statement piece throughout your home.

To preserve the "classic light finish" of these rustic trays, we recommend dusting regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Based on our material care guides, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners is essential to preventing damage to the solid cream color. For a deeper clean in high-traffic areas like a kitchen or dining room, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap, ensuring the surface is dried immediately to maintain the integrity of the finish.

To achieve a professional aesthetic, we recommend grouping items on the trays in odd numbers—such as a candle, a small vase, and a book. Use the varying sizes of the five nesting pieces to create height and visual interest. By leaving intentional negative space on the tray surfaces, you ensure each decorative piece stands out, reflecting a sophisticated design rather than a cluttered surface.

This set features a solid cream color and a smooth finish that is easy to wipe down, making it a practical choice for busy households. The nesting design also allows for quick cleanup; simply stack the trays away when they aren't in use to keep your surfaces clear and safe for children and pets.

Nesting trays are a premier solution for urban dwellers who need flexible decor. This set of five fits entirely within the largest 14" x 14" tray, allowing you to scale up for hosting or scale down for storage. Our design expertise suggests using them individually to organize keys in an entryway or grouping them on a coffee table to create a layered, multi-dimensional look without taking up excess square footage.

While designed for indoor use, these trays are well-suited for a variety of environments. In humid or coastal areas, we recommend keeping them in a climate-controlled room. The solid-color light finish is more resilient than exposed metal accents, which may tarnish in salt air, making this cream-colored set a durable and stylish choice for a coastal sunroom or living space.

Absolutely. These square trays provide a stable, solid surface that is perfect for placing drinks or decor on a soft upholstered ottoman. The set of two handles on each tray ensures they are easy to maneuver when you need to transition your space from a relaxation zone to an entertaining area.
