Description

Birchwood with melamine-coating serving trays decorated with Things Could Be Worse patterns. We call it Things Could Be Worse because it includes reminders that, no matter how poorly your day is going, things could be worse. You could also be plagued by pterodactyls, pursued by rogue robots, pestered by zombie poodles.

Use & Care

You’ll be amazed at how many uses trays have in the kitchen, for entertaining, managing snacks on the ottoman, organizing paperwork, and bringing order to your boudoir. If you want, you can have your minions deliver important correspondence to you on a tray.

Do not heat these trays in an oven or microwave.

We recommend washing by hand since the detergents used in home dishwashers are so rough.

Trays

Very nice trays. Sturdy and decorative. I got the blue ones and am saving up for the red ones to use next Christmas. I have quite a few pieces from this company and I enjoy using all the pieces.

Beautiful Trays

I use trays frequently in my life. These Calamity trays are beautiful! Just the right size for a tea tray; for lap project work; carrying lunch to the outside patio; organizing the mail; gathering ingredients for a favorite recipe... So happy I bought these. The trays are also wonderful gifts.

Serving trays

Purchased as a gift for my niece and her husband. They entertain a fair amount and I thought these trays would make serving their guests fun as well as useful.
Love your clever, idiosyncratic designs.
