Common Questions
Answered by the Nora Furnish team
About this piece
How big is it?
It measures 11.8 by 4.6 inches. It is shallow and narrow, sized for serving tea or coffee and a small plate rather than a full meal, and it sits neatly on a coffee table between uses.
Will it scratch my table?
No. The base is padded and non slip, so it can be set down on a polished table or a countertop without scratching it, and it stays put on a smooth surface.
Why is it so flat?
Most serving trays have tall walls that make things awkward to lift off. This one is carved almost flat, so a cup slides on and off easily, while the shallow carved shape still catches a drip.

Objects with a purpose
Small things
finish a room.
The Ashby Serving Tray gathers the everyday into something composed, on a coffee table, a console or a bathroom shelf.
Read the product guide
The idea
The things we keep tell the story of a home.
A well-chosen object earns its place twice: once for what it does, and once for how it looks doing it.

- Hand carved from solid wood
- 11.8" x 4.6" flat tray
- Padded non slip base
The styling guide
Why most surfaces
read as clutter.
Three rules stylists use so a surface looks composed, not crowded.
Contain the everyday.
Gather keys, remotes or perfumes on one tray and the surface instantly looks intentional.
Layer low to high.
Start with the tray, then add height with a candle, a vase or a stack of books.
Leave breathing room.
Empty space around the tray is what makes everything on it look chosen.
Follow these three and the Ashby Serving Tray does the rest.

Customer Reviews
QHow big is it?
NORA FURNISH
It measures 11.8 by 4.6 inches. It is shallow and narrow, sized for serving tea or coffee and a small plate rather than a full meal, and it sits neatly on a coffee table between uses.
QWill it scratch my table?
NORA FURNISH
No. The base is padded and non slip, so it can be set down on a polished table or a countertop without scratching it, and it stays put on a smooth surface.
QWhy is it so flat?
NORA FURNISH
Most serving trays have tall walls that make things awkward to lift off. This one is carved almost flat, so a cup slides on and off easily, while the shallow carved shape still catches a drip.
QWhat is it made of?
NORA FURNISH
Hand carved solid wood with a padded non slip base. Grain and color vary from piece to piece because it is a natural material, so every tray looks a little different.
QCan I carry a full meal on it?
NORA FURNISH
It is sized for tea or coffee and a small plate rather than a full meal. At 11.8 by 4.6 inches and almost flat, it suits one or two cups at a time.
QIs it comfortable to carry?
NORA FURNISH
Yes. The carved edge is smoothed, so it is comfortable to lift with two hands. Keep the load light and centered, since the tray is narrow and has no tall walls.
QHow do I clean it?
NORA FURNISH
Wipe it with a lightly damp cloth and dry it right away. Blot spills straight away rather than letting them sit, and keep it out of the dishwasher and away from standing water so the grain is not raised.
QWill sunlight affect it?
NORA FURNISH
Yes, over time. Keep it away from direct sunlight so the wood does not lighten, and away from moisture so it does not swell. A shaded coffee table or sideboard suits it best.
QDoes it slide on glass tables?
NORA FURNISH
The padded non slip base helps it stay put on a smooth surface, including polished wood and countertops, and it protects the surface from scratches.
QCan I use it as decor?
NORA FURNISH
Yes. Left out on a coffee table it reads as an object rather than kitchen equipment. A small candle or a single stem vase on it keeps the table looking finished between uses.
