Nislish Black Tray

Yes, the tray is designed for both display and functional serving. It is elevated on a sturdy, lightly antiqued brass base that adds 3.5 inches of height, making it easier to lift and carry than flush-mounted trays. While the stone surface is exceptionally durable for serving glassware and beverages, we recommend using napkins or small plates for food to maintain the integrity of the finish over time.

Measuring 18 inches wide and 13 inches deep, this tray is perfectly scaled to act as a centerpiece for most standard coffee tables, ottomans, or entryway consoles. In a modern apartment or compact living space, its rectangular silhouette is ideal for "corralling" smaller items like remotes, coasters, or books, instantly reducing visual clutter while adding a layer of contemporary style.

Based on our furniture care expertise, we recommend dusting the tray regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with a solution of mild soap and warm water. It is important to avoid harsh chemical cleaners, polishers, or abrasives, as these can damage the antiqued patina of the brass base or dull the rich, solid black luster of the stone surface.

To achieve a curated, professional look, our stylists suggest using the "rule of three." Try pairing a vertical element, such as a tall vase, with a medium-sized candle and a small stack of textured coasters. The contrast between the matte black stone and the warm brass base makes this tray an excellent companion for transitional or modern furniture, such as a dark wood console or a neutral-toned ottoman.

Yes, customer assembly is required for this item. This ensures that the cast stone top and the antiqued brass base are securely and levelly attached, providing maximum stability for anything you choose to display or serve.

This tray is meticulously crafted from cast black man-made stone, which provides the sophisticated, high-end aesthetic of natural stone with enhanced durability. Unlike natural marble, which is porous and prone to staining, man-made stone is more resistant to spills and moisture. This makes it a superior choice for a high-traffic coffee table or a home bar where it may come into contact with liquids.
