Teak is known for its durability and water resistance. It's a solid wood that has a high oil content and requires very little maintenance. Teak is used for boatbuilding, which is a testament to its substantiality. It also makes for a great looking tray/organizer. This handsome decorative tray measures 16" L x 12" W x 4" H. It is rather large, so make sure that you have an area that will fit the tray. The organizer is beautifully crafted. It is stained a warm, rich sienna brown which shows off the beautiful grain of the wood. There is a slight sheen to the product, as it is vanished lightly for further protection. Each side panel is just about a 1/4" thick. This makes for one sturdy tray. Another positive feature is that all four corners are interconnected using dovetail joints, which is a method used for constructing a durable product. Use the tray in a variety of environments. Serve up drinks and snacks at a pool party or picnic. Neaten up your bathroom by organizing your toiletries in this handsome tray. It would make for a very attractive magazine holder. Place it in your guest bathroom and fill with extra towels, shampoo, conditioner, lotion and soap. Our intention for ordering the tray was to use it in our new RV, as it is nice looking and has very high sides (to keep various items from jostling around while driving). There are two easy to grip handles for effortlessly moving the tray. This VaeFae organizer would be a great addition to any home or RV. It's elegant-looking, functional and especially sturdy.
