Quality is not always visible at first sight. Andrew turns the tray over and shows how the corners are slightly raised and that there’s a slight elevation underneath which the tray rests on. It prevents a vacuum forming between the trays and that they stick together when you stack them. "I like to work with small and hidden details", says Andrew. "Things that are not visible, but are noticeable when using the product, and which actually make people's everyday lives a little better."

Super handy trayMadeleineI have heaps of this versatile tray. They're used for many functions.
Very versatile tray for many situations.MargaretWe now keep a few of these trays in the car as the size is just right and they can be quickly retrieved and used if someone absolutely has to eat something in the car. The tray can also be the base under takeaway hot food etc. I also line my fridge shelves with some of these trays because they fit and can be cleaned more efficiently than the big fridge shelves. And we use them as trays when needed too. They are a very good size easy to clean, to store, and very handy.

Little wonderHelenBought to join others on the bottom of sink cabinet, perfect foil for those mucky detergent bottles, Recycle bin spillovers, etc. Just wash it and put it back, fits floor of cabinet perfectly. Great value.
Wonderful TrayJuliaI have several of these trays now. I use them under kitchen appliances (toaster, kettle, coffee machine) to keep the benchtop free from spills. I also have two under the dogs' water bowls so I don't have to mop the floor each time they skid along to the trays and knock the bowls.
At $2 each they are excellent value

Story
Nothing is too good for a low price
Yes, you actually read the price right ―TILLGÅNG tray doesn’t cost more. But how durable and useful can a plastic tray at this price actually be? We dare to say quite good actually ― especially after letting both our test lab and our colleagues test it out. But one can wonder what visitors to the IKEA restaurant were thinking when they saw product developer Andrew Deverell going up and down the stairs with a full tray. "I wanted to make sure that there was enough room on the tray for a full meal for one person, and that everything stood firmly on the tray’s textured surface when I went up and down the stairs", explains Andrew Deverell. "Many things can be calculated, but we also have to test that our products work in people’s everyday lives."
Already when the project started, the low price was a requirement. So Andrew and the team needed to balance quality, function and price in every little detail. “We want to use a good plastic which is also strong and can be machine washed. And by being smart in the design process, we were efficient with the amount of plastic ― so we were able to reduce the cost”, says Andrew, and shows how TILLGÅNG has become slightly shorter, narrower and thinner than many standard trays. "It’s as if the tray has shrunk a little, but it still fits in most tray trolleys used by restaurants."

Nothing is too good for a low price
With TILLGÅNG tray we wanted to prove that it’s possible to combine high quality with a low price through making smart choices. For example, we chose a really good plastic with great durability. And by reducing the total amount of plastic, we could decrease the cost of materials. We simply made it a little shorter, narrower and thinner than many standard trays. Yet it still has space for your dinner ― and is stable enough so you avoid spills on the way to the sofa.
