Lipper International Solid Bamboo Tray

We had a bamboo tray on our ottoman for years when my four-year-old son decided to sit on it and break it. Since we use the tray quite a bit, I needed to find a replacement and did some searching on here. I had been eyeing up this tray and almost passed on it to go with a different one since some of the reviews stated the tray was made of poor quality and fell apart easily. Ultimately, I ended up purchasing it since I wanted to give it a chance in hopes that the problems had been fixed and I liked the look and price of it. This tray is made of bamboo so it's considered friendly to the environment. It measures 19 5/8 inches by 13 3/4 inches by just under 2 1/4 inches tall. The sides measure 3/8 inches thick and there are two handles so you can easily carry it. If you need to clean it, simply use a damp cloth. I've found with all of my bamboo products (I have a lot), I can freshen up the bamboo by rubbing a bit of mineral oil on it, especially after the wood has gotten wet a number of times. This tray is made in China. I'll admit, I almost didn't purchase this tray but I'm so glad I did! The quality is excellent and this tray is very solid and durable. My twins have knocked it off the ottoman onto the wood floor a number of times and it's still in great shape. My cat also finds it to be a comfortable bed, which I find strange. Besides the good quality, the other things I really love about this tray is that it's really big and the sides are straight, rather than angled. The tray can easily hold all of our beverages and a cat at the same time! I'm so happy we took a chance and ordered this tray! It's really nice quality and has been working out wonderfully for us. I love the look of it and recommend purchasing this if you want a bamboo tray!
