Hosting Thanksgiving in a Small Space: A Folding Serving Tray

A folding tray gives you a serving surface that does not need a permanent place. Set it on a table, counter or sofa arm, load it with pie and sides, and fold it flat when you finish.

Bamboo is light, so you can carry a loaded tray from the kitchen without a struggle.

How it fits a small space

  • The legs fold, so the tray stores behind a door or under a bed.
  • Handles make it easy to carry.
  • It turns a corner of the room into a dessert or drinks station.

What to know before you buy

  • Check the listing for the size and the maximum weight before you load it with full dishes.
  • Make sure the legs lock open before you put anything on it.
  • Bamboo can stain. Wipe spills right away.

How to use it

  • Use the tray for desserts and put the mains on the table.
  • Keep cold drinks off the tray, because condensation marks bamboo.
  • On other days, use the same tray for breakfast in bed.
