Review on ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ Red Kraftware Bartenders Choice 14-Inch Food Serving Tray by John Milligan

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nicely made item, great color but not for pool use.

I gave this tray 4 stars although it's not what I thought BUT overall it's a pretty good tray and I can't fault the product because I misunderstood the description and reviews have. I'm not clear what the description means by "outdoor fun" but it doesn't seem to mean "poolside use". I thought I could use this at the pool's edge to create a stable, flat surface for sodas and drinks. However, it is not designed to withstand such a situation. The cap's stone and grout will wear through the bottom material too quickly, and since there is a seam between the rim and the inside, water splashes will penetrate. so thick)) would have withstood the water in the pool. If it's to be used on side tables or other finished surfaces, it's fine. Color is approximately as shown, taking into account differences in computer monitors - the blue is very clear and consistent, a little light but not "neon" - bright, just cheerfully bright ;) covered with a black leather-covered fabric Texture that I believe is also vinyl. The edges are very "clean" - dense and even. As other reviewers note, the inside of the rim has some padding. It's also surprisingly heavy, as others have noted, which I think makes it easier to balance and harder to tip over when full of glasses, cups, and whatnot. Whatever the underlying material (wood?), it is solid and absolutely FLOAT with no bumps. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because it really isn't meant for poolside use so I'm not sure how I'm going to use it yet, but I've decided not to return it partly because I'm through with it gotten the Revain Warehouse Deals, and partly because it's a *good* item, so I'm going to use it, just not in the way I was hoping.

Pros
  • Kitchen & Dining
