Round trays are perfect for serving drinks; while handled trays let you carry appetizers with ease. High-sided trays can tame the chaos on your desk and low-sided trays can turn single candles into a considered collection. Once you have one tray, you’ll find uses for more. They convey, they contain, and at these prices, they can come home with you – today. (Hooray!)

Thanks aerie9! Fixed now. :)
wow! great assortment! thanks!
Am I the only one who doesn't use trays? I can't remember the last time I thought, Oh, a tray would be handy.
We have some of the same dishes in our showroom. Love them!
i use trays all the time to function as oversized plates. Esp when i have a gaggle of kids over. I put food directly on the tray (cut-up fruit in one corner, crackers in another, carrots in another and cheese in another). So practical and only one dish to clean. Trays don't have to be just for transporting other dishes...
My parents have a lot of upholstered occasional furniture in their house - benched, ottomans, etc - and trays really are a great way to set aside a flat surface on which to place your beverage.
Thanks from a tray-aholic.
