Trays & platters

Platters and trays for serving or displaying

Don’t just put out cakes, treats or snacks—put them on display in stunning style as you serve your guests.

Find a marble topped cake stand on nickel-plated stainless-steel legs. The dark marble disc with cloud-like traces of white rotates to help you decorate and put the literal icing on any cake. They’re also great as serving trays for your dining room table or sideboard. Perhaps carry a colorful cake out to the birthday girl or boy with a circular decorative tray with raised edges featuring vibrant patterns in red and blue on white for a modern look. Carry desserts or pastries out to backyard patio furniture without worry by putting them on a bamboo serving tray with a foldable mesh cover. 

Serve snacks on a narrow bamboo tray that fits easily on wide arm rests on couches or in the middle of tables. The tray comes with three handsome stoneware bowls in white that are held in place by shallow grooves in the wood. Use them to serve tortilla chips, guac and salsa verde during the big game or to serve as a platform for the kids contest on who spruced up the popcorn better.

Trays for any occasion

Serving trays

Choose stainless steel circular serving trays in silver or the color of brass to add a luxurious feel to your next dinner party. The raised edges will help keep highball glasses or any hor d'oeuvres from falling off. Also find wooden chopping boards in a variety of designs and materials such as bamboo or acacia that are great for serving cheeses and charcuterie.

Armrest tray

Choose a foldable and easy to move bamboo armrest tray that fits over most sofa armrests to hold coffee mugs or snack bowls. Slender wooden cutting boards can also be used as serving trays on sofa armrests that are wide enough.

Bed trays

Breakfast in bed anyone? IKEA bed trays stand at the perfect height to help you enjoy any meal in bed or on the couch. Their foldable legs also make for easy storage. Available in attractive beechwood or durable plastic in white, gray, black or turquoise. The raised edges keep your coffee or laptop in place, while making eating or reading in bed comfortable.

Food trays

When you need to carry several sandwiches out to the backyard picnic table or dessert for two to the couch, use eating trays in rustic wood with raised edges and handles that help you go from one room to the next without worry. Or use melamine laminate or plastic trays in a variety of colors and styles that fit in racks or atop kitchen trolleys for easy storage and room-to-room service.

Decorative trays

Let colors and illustrations pop with a square tray with neon birds in vibrant colors. Go with minimalist line drawings or colorful brush strokes in rectangular serving trays with raised edges.
