How do I prevent metal trays from scratching my furniture?
To protect your wood or glass surfaces, we recommend placing small felt pads or a thin non-slip liner on the bottom of metal trays. Based on our furniture care expertise, regular dusting of both the tray and the table surface with a soft cloth will also prevent trapped debris from causing micro-scratches over time.
How can I style these trays to make my space feel more organized?
The organic, asymmetric shapes of this set allow them to function as sculptural art as much as utility pieces. Use the smaller 13-inch tray in an entryway as a sophisticated "catch-all" for keys and mail to keep surfaces clear. In a living room, layering the two trays together can help define specific zones on a large ottoman, creating a designated spot for remote controls or coasters.
Are these trays suitable for humid or coastal climates?
Aluminum is one of the best materials for humid or seaside environments because it does not rust or corrode like iron or steel. The dark black nickel finish is designed to resist the elements, making these trays a long-lasting decorative choice for homes in moisture-prone areas where other materials might warp or degrade.
What are the benefits of a cast aluminum decorative tray?
These trays are crafted from cast aluminum, a material prized for its exceptional durability and natural resistance to rust. The dark black nickel finish provides a sleek, reflective surface that enhances the contemporary, organic shapes. This construction ensures the trays remain lightweight yet sturdy enough for daily decorative use on a coffee table or console.
How do I choose the right size tray for my coffee table or ottoman?
Finding the correct scale is key to a curated look. This set includes a 21-inch and a 13-inch tray, offering versatility for different surfaces. For a standard coffee table, the larger tray acts as an ideal anchor for grouping items like a candle, a small vase, and a book. Our styling experts suggest leaving at least 4 inches of space on all sides of the tray to ensure the surface doesn't feel overcrowded.
Can I place hot items like candles or coffee mugs on these trays?
Yes. Because these trays are made from cast aluminum, they are inherently heat-resistant. This makes them a safer and more durable option than wood or plastic for holding decorative candles or warm beverages. The metal construction prevents warping or heat damage to the finish, protecting both the tray and the furniture surface beneath it.
