10 Easy Pieces: Tray Tables

In my house it’s the side tables that see more action than the dining table. With coffee cups, carafes, magazines, laptops, cell phones, and wine glasses moving off and on the table all day long, my side table works a lot harder than I give it credit for. That’s the appeal of the tray table: a multifunctional, hardworking side table that can be moved from the teen room to the living room to the bedside, and with a removable tray, right on your lap. Here at look at our edit of the best tray tables on the market.

Design House Stockholm Tablo Tray Table — Above: Design House Stockholm’s Tablo Tray Table is made with a lacquered steel tray in white or black and a teak frame; $335 for the low 16-inch size and $394.50 for the high 20-inch size at Horne.

HAY Tray Table in Warm Grey — Above: Hay’s Tray Side Table is available as a small square in white or black for £119 ($173) or as a medium square in the same with the addition of blue, red, yellow, or gray (shown) for £129 ($188) at Skandium.

Fogia Bowl Side Table — Above: Fogia’s Bowl Side Table takes the idea of the tray table to the next level with an extra deep top that makes it easy to store bed- and sofa-side objects. The tabletop, however, cannot be removed in this design. Prices range from £790 ($1,149) to £920 ($1,338) at Viaduct.

De Padova Chab Table — Above: Designed by Nendo for De Padova, the Chab Table is a white laminate tray with beech edges atop a powder-coated frame; £582 ($846) at TwentyTwentyOne.

flip-around-side-table-menu-remodelista — Above: Menu’s Flip Around Side Table not only doubles as a table and tray but also the tray can be flipped over to make it into a stool as well; $199 at Horne.
