THE SMALL-SPACE EDIT

Decorative Trays for Coffee Table

A well-chosen tray is the fastest way to bring order to a small surface. Our decorative trays are selected for real use—broad enough to hold remotes and coasters on a coffee table, stable enough to sit on an upholstered ottoman, and compact enough to organize a vanity or bathroom counter. Choose from marble, wood, stone-look resin, and metal finishes, each with a raised edge that keeps objects contained without hiding them.
