Review on Lipper International 8865 Bamboo Serving by Samuel Blakeley

We had a bamboo tray on the ottoman for many years when my four year old son decided to sit on it and smash it. Since we use the tray quite a bit I needed to find a replacement so I looked around here. I kept my eye on this tray and almost gave up buying another one as some reviews said the tray was poorly made and fell apart easily. I ended up buying it because I wanted to try it out, hoping it fixes the issues and I like the look and price. This tray is made of bamboo and is therefore considered to be environmentally friendly. It measures 19 5/8 inches by 13 3/4 inches and is just under 2 1/4 inches tall. The sides are 3/8" thick and two handles make it easy to carry. If you need to clean it, just use a damp cloth. I've found that with all my bamboo products (I have many) I can refresh the bamboo by doing this I rub it with some mineral oil especially after the wood has been wet a few times. This tray is made in China. I confess I almost bought this tray but I am so glad I did! The quality is excellent ", the tray is very strong and durable. My twins have dropped it from the ottoman onto the hardwood floor several times and it's still in great condition. My cat also finds this a comfortable bed which I find odd. Good quality aside what i like about this tray is that it's really big and the sides are straight instead of slanted.the tray easily accommodates all our drinks and the cat at the same time!I'm so glad wi r took the risk and ordered this tray! It's really good quality and it works great for us. Love the look and would recommend buying this if you need a bamboo tray!
