Sothea Brown Tray, Set of 2

Based on our expertise with mixed-material furniture, we recommend dusting the trays with a soft, dry cloth to maintain the brown finish and prevent dust buildup in the rope textures. Because the construction includes MDF and natural wood, it is important to avoid harsh chemical cleaners or standing water. If used for serving, ensure any spills are wiped away immediately to preserve the integrity of the materials.

To achieve a balanced look, we recommend following the "two-thirds rule," where your tray occupies roughly two-thirds of the surface it sits on. At 21 inches wide and 13 inches deep, these trays are perfectly scaled to serve as a central anchor for standard-sized coffee tables or large cocktail ottomans. For larger surfaces, using the set of two together can create a cohesive and organized display.

This tray set is expertly crafted using a blend of rubber tree wood, MDF, and artisanal hand-wrapped rope. Rubber tree wood is a preferred choice in high-quality home accents due to its dense grain and exceptional durability. The addition of textured rope accents provides a tactile, nature-inspired element that enhances the organic, rustic aesthetic of the pieces.

This set requires some customer assembly. This ensures that the artisanal components, particularly the hand-wrapped rope and wood sections, are protected during transit and arrive in pristine condition. The assembly process is straightforward, allowing you to quickly integrate these nature-inspired accents into your home decor.

Yes, these trays are specifically designed as a "serving" type, making them as functional as they are decorative. With a generous 21-inch width and 3.25-inch raised edges, they provide a secure and stable surface for transporting glassware or appetizer plates. The hand-wrapped rope handles are integrated into the design to offer a comfortable and steady grip while moving between the kitchen and living area.

These trays are an excellent choice for urban apartment living where multi-functional furniture is essential. By placing one of these sturdy trays on a soft ottoman, you can instantly create a stable surface for a laptop, books, or drinks, effectively turning your seating into a temporary table. Their low profile (3.25 inches high) ensures they add functionality without creating visual clutter in smaller spaces.
