    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is a round tray typically used for?

    A round tray is typically used to corral drinks, a coffee service, candles or small objects on an ottoman, coffee table or side table, its circular shape softening a room of straight lines. At Eleish Van Breems Home we carry round trays in wood, metal and glass. Compare the brass tray.

    What size round tray fits a coffee table?

    For a coffee table, a round tray usually works at about 14 to 18 inches across, large enough to hold a few objects but leaving room around it; scale up for a big ottoman. Leave a clear margin at the edges. For length instead, see the oval tray.

    How does a round tray organize an ottoman or side table?

    On an ottoman or side table, a round tray gathers the remote, coasters and a candle into one circle, keeping the surface tidy and giving drinks a stable base. Corral, do not crowd. A round tray is useful on an ottoman for keeping drinks and small items together on a stable surface. Compare a serving tray. 

    Is a round tray a practical everyday gift?

    As an everyday gift, a round tray is practical because it suits almost any home and use, from a coffee table to a bathroom counter, and is easy to wrap. Choose a neutral wood or metal finish. Add a bottle opener to make it a small bar gift.
