How to Pick Wood Trays?

When buying wood trays, many people don't know how to choose. Let's talk about how to pick a wooden tea tray with handles, a small wood tray, and a wooden breakfast tray with legs.

First, wooden tea tray with handles. Material matters when choosing this tray. The website shows many wood kitchen tools made of rubber wood, black walnut. These are good for tea trays. Rubber wood has even texture and is cheap. Black walnut has a dark color, nice grain, and good feel. Also, look at how the tray surface is treated. A smooth surface looks good and is easy to clean. If not, tea will stain it. The handle must be strong and comfortable. Some handles aren't ergonomic, making your hand tired. When buying, lift the tray. Check if the handle is firm and feels good.

Next, small wood tray. This tray has many uses. You can put fruits, snacks on it, or use it for decorations. When choosing, pick the right size. If you use it on a coffee table, choose a small, delicate one. For a dining table, a bigger one is okay. Besides the woods mentioned, bamboo is a good choice. It's light and cheap. Also, check the tray corners. Rounded corners won't hurt you or scratch the table.

Finally, wooden breakfast tray with legs. This tray lets you enjoy breakfast in bed or use it for picnics. When choosing, first check leg stability. If legs aren't strong, the tray will tip over with food on it. Press the tray to see if it's steady. For material, oak and beech are great. They're strong. Also, think about the tray size. If you often put a lot of food, choose a big, deep tray.

You might wonder why we spend so much time talking about these details. Well, I once bought a wooden tray without really looking at it carefully. The first time I used it, the handle came off when I was carrying it. It was such a mess! And another time, I got a tray with rough corners. It scratched my brand - new tablecloth. These little things can really spoil your experience. So, taking the time to pick the right tray is worth it.
