Leahmon Silver Tray

While categorized for serving use, the textured warm nickel finish is primarily designed as a decorative accent. To maintain the integrity of the artisanal finish and ensure food safety, we recommend using this tray to transport glassware, barware, or bowls of snacks. If you wish to serve items like charcuterie directly on the tray, our experts recommend using a food-safe liner or parchment paper to protect both the food and the polished aluminum surface.

Proportionality is key when choosing an accent piece for a large surface. With a 36-inch width, this tray is ideally scaled for oversized ottomans or long rectangular coffee tables. Its slim 9-inch depth is a strategic design feature, allowing it to provide a stable surface for drinks and decor while still leaving ample space for books or personal items, making it a versatile choice for both large suburban homes and more compact urban apartments.

The rustic appeal of this tray lies in its "rough cut" edges, which offer a textured, organic silhouette that mimics natural stone or raw metal. Despite this rugged aesthetic, the cast aluminum is polished to a "soft hand," meaning it feels smooth and comfortable to the touch. This combination of raw visual texture and refined finish allows it to bridge the gap between industrial, farmhouse, and modern decor styles.

This tray is constructed from thick cast aluminum, a material prized for its exceptional durability and natural resistance to rust. Unlike wood, which can warp in humid climates, or thin stamped metals that may dent, cast aluminum provides a heavy, high-quality feel that maintains its shape over time. This makes it an excellent choice for homes in coastal regions or areas with varying humidity levels.

To preserve the warm nickel plating and its unique texture, our care guidelines recommend regular dusting with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Because the finish is textured, avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemical polishes that could get trapped in the grain or strip the plating. For minor spills, a lightly dampened cloth with mild soap is sufficient, provided the surface is dried immediately to prevent water spotting.

Yes, according to the product specifications, some light customer assembly is required. This typically involves a simple attachment of the base or handles, ensuring all components are securely fastened for stable use. Our delivery guidelines recommend checking that all hardware is tightened before placing heavy glassware or decorative items on the tray for the first time.
