Wooden Trays (Resin, Live-Edge & Tile Interiors)

Design Categories: Coffee Table Centerpieces, Entertainer’s Essentials, Vanity & Console Catch-Alls.

Styling Quick Tips:

The Ottoman Anchor: Use a large live-edge or resin-coated tray to instantly convert a plush fabric ottoman into a hard, functional coffee table surface.
Vignette Base: Group three items of varying heights on a tile-interior tray (e.g., a hand-poured candle, a small plant, and a stack of two books) to create a contained, intentional focal point.
Bathroom/Vanity Luxury: Style smaller trays on bathroom counters to corral perfumes, guest towels, and apothecary jars, elevating everyday items into a curated display.

Complementary Pairings: Pairs perfectly with hand-poured soy candles and minimalist glass vases to create a complete, ready-made centerpiece.

Wooden Trays: Care & Maintenance

Our trays are crafted from spruce, pine, or fir, with the interior surface finished in resin for durability and beauty. The exterior sides and bottom are stained and coated with lacquer for a natural look and protection. For best results:

Everyday Cleaning (Interior Resin Surface): Wipe with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Remove spills promptly to avoid staining or warping. Mild, diluted soap can be used for sticky spots, followed by a clean, dry cloth. Never soak or rinse under running water.
No Dishwasher: Do not place in the dishwasher or immerse in water. Moisture can damage both the resin and the wood.
Heat Caution: Avoid placing hot pots, pans, or dishes directly on the resin surface. Use trivets or coasters to protect from heat damage.
Resin Surface: The resin interior is durable but can scratch—avoid cutting or using sharp utensils directly on the tray.
Exterior Cleaning (Stained & Lacquered Sides/Bottom): Wipe gently with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads, which may dull or remove the lacquer finish.
Storage: Store trays flat in a cool, dry place. Avoid stacking heavy items on top to maintain shape and finish.

Q: Are your wooden trays waterproof?
A: They are resin-coated for protection, but I don’t recommend soaking or leaving standing water on the surface. Quick wipe-ups are perfect.

Q: Can I use a BrookeLynn’s Home tray for food?
A: I recommend using trays for styling, serving wrapped items, or as a decorative catch-all. If you plan to use it around food, use a liner or place items on plates/napkins.

Q: How do I clean a resin-coated wooden tray?
A: Wipe with a soft, damp cloth and dry right away. Avoid abrasive sponges and harsh cleaners, which can dull the finish.

Q: Can I place hot mugs or candles on the tray?
A: Use a coaster or heat-safe base. Resin finishes can soften with high heat, so I recommend protecting the surface from very hot items.

Q: Will the stain color vary?
A: Yes—wood grain is naturally unique, and stain absorbs differently from piece to piece. That variation is part of the handcrafted character.

Q: Can I cut food directly on a resin-coated wooden tray?
A: I don’t recommend it. Cutting can scratch the resin surface. If you’re serving, use a cutting board or plates to keep the finish pristine.

Q: What happens if my tray gets wet underneath (like condensation)?
A: Wipe it dry as soon as possible. Condensation can sit unnoticed and may affect wood over time. A quick dry-down protects both the wood and the finish.

Q: Can I use your tray outdoors on a patio?
A: For short periods, yes—but I don’t recommend leaving it outdoors. Sun, temperature swings, and moisture can stress both wood and resin finishes.

Q: How do I prevent scratches on a resin-coated tray?
A: Avoid dragging heavy or rough items across the surface. Felt pads under décor pieces and gentle handling go a long way.

Q: What should I do if the tray feels slightly tacky?
A: Tacky texture is usually a sign of heat exposure or a surface reacting to a cleaner. Move it to a cooler area, stop using chemical cleaners, and wipe gently with a damp cloth, then dry.

Introduce a striking blend of modern design and textile-inspired artistry with the Cardinal Tribal Wooden Tray Collection—a handcrafted accent that pairs a sleek, contemporary frame with a bold, woven fabric interior.

The solid wood frame is finished in a cool, sophisticated Smokey Gray stain, creating a clean, versatile boundary that beautifully anchors the vibrant center. Inside, a dynamic fabric-style pattern features intricate geometric and tribal motifs. Crisp white and subtle gray tones are energized by bold, vibrant red, forming a high-contrast design that feels both modern and globally inspired.

The entire interior is sealed beneath a thick, ultra-clear high-gloss resin finish. This premium coating protects the pattern while delivering a luxurious, glass-like sheen that enhances color, depth, and easy cleaning.

Customizable Handle Styles:

Black Handle: 3 ½” matte black curved handles that tie into the darker gray accents of the interior pattern.
Silver Handle: 3 ½” polished silver curved handles for a bright metallic pop against the Smokey Gray frame.

Dimensions:

Exterior: 9 ⅝” L x 7 ½” W x 1 ½” H
Interior (Usable Space): 8” L x 6” W x ¾” D

Smokey Gray stained wood frame for sleek, modern structure
