Obviously, it’s more the food that makes people ecstatic but you can’t carry it to them without a tray. Having a tray with handles allows you to make any moment or morning feel like you’re ordering room service from a fancy hotel.

This bamboo tray is environmentally friendly and is stronger than normal wood. It measures 16.5″ x 10.5″ x 2.35″, meaning you can pack a lot onto it. The design has an elegant finish and each side has wide cut handles that are simple to hold and make carrying it a whole lot easier. The edges of the tray are raised to form a lip, so things won’t slide off of it. This tray is meant to be hand washed with soapy warm water.
