Halcyon Wooden Serving Trays, Rectangular Tea Tray
Description
Description
These rectangular wooden serving trays bring warm, natural texture to a tea service and everyday hosting. Hand-polished surfaces show the grain of solid wood, while softly rounded corners and raised edges frame teapots, cups, and small plates so nothing slides on the way to the table. The rectangular proportion suits a narrow console or a coffee table better than a round tray, which tends to waste the corners of a surface.
Solid wood gives these trays enough weight to stay put when a cup is set down firmly, and the raised lip catches drips from a pot or a spill from a full glass. The hand-polished finish is smooth to the touch and easy to wipe clean, and each tray carries its own grain pattern and tone. Two sizes let you choose between a single service tray and one large enough for a full breakfast or a bar cart setup.
From Oak Mercer, these trays work for tea and coffee, breakfast in bed, bathroom counter groupings, and coffee table styling with a candle and a stack of books. Hand wash only with warm water and mild soap, dry immediately rather than leaving them to soak, and oil occasionally with food-safe mineral oil. Not dishwasher or microwave safe.

Built For Tea
Raised edges frame a teapot, two cups and a small plate so the whole service travels to the table in one trip. Nothing slides on the way.
Grain You Can See
Hand polished surfaces let the natural grain of the solid wood come through, so every tray carries its own pattern. Oak Mercer chose real wood over laminate for exactly that reason.
Fits The Narrow Spots
The rectangular proportion uses the whole surface of a console or coffee table instead of wasting the corners the way a round tray does.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size items fit on this tray?
What size items fit on this tray?
The rectangular basin comfortably holds a teapot with cups and a couple of small plates, and the raised edge keeps them gathered. It is generous enough for a full tea service without feeling oversized on a coffee table.
What is the tray made from?
What is the tray made from?
It is solid wood, hand polished so the grain stays visible rather than buried under a heavy finish. That gives each tray a slightly different figure and a warm, natural feel in the hand.
How do I clean and care for it?
How do I clean and care for it?
Wipe the surface with a soft damp cloth and dry it right away, and avoid soaking it or putting it in the dishwasher. An occasional coat of food safe wood conditioner keeps the finish rich for years.
Can I use it for something other than tea?
Can I use it for something other than tea?
Plenty of people use it as an ottoman tray for books and candles, a bathroom vanity catchall, or a breakfast tray in bed. The raised edges make it just as useful for keys and remotes as for cups.
Will a mug stay put while I carry it?
Will a mug stay put while I carry it?
The corners are softly rounded and the edges are raised on all four sides, so mugs stay gathered as you walk. The flat, even base also means nothing tips when you set it down.
