About the Creative Tops 40cm Melamine Serving Tray
This small melamine serving tray is the right size for two mugs and a small plate, a round of drinks or a few nibbles carried out to the garden. The cut-out handles at each end give a proper grip, and the rim is about 3cm high, which stops things sliding off as you walk. It also works as a dressing table or desk tray for keys, post and glasses.
This Creative Tops melamine serving tray is from a brand known for printed melamine trays, placemats and coasters. We stocked it in four Creative Tops designs: Cornish Harbour, Watercolour Poppy, Wild Field Poppies and Blue Abstract. Stock is now limited, so the options show which designs we can still send.
Melamine is a hard plastic, so this is a rigid plastic tray 40cm x 20cm with a printed design. It wipes clean with a damp cloth, and a quick hand wash in warm soapy water deals with anything sticky. Melamine isn't for heat, so don't put hot pans on it, and don't use it in the microwave or oven.
Melamine trays like this are best stored indoors and dry when you're not using them. Of the melamine serving trays UK shops sell, this is a small one, sized for one or two people. Creative Tops serving trays also make a useful present, and this one is small enough to wrap easily. It stores flat in a cupboard alongside your other trays.

FAQs
Questions about the Creative Tops 40cm Melamine Serving Tray
What size is the tray?
About 40 x 20cm. That's big enough for two mugs and a small plate, or a round of drinks, but small enough to slip into a cupboard when you're not using it.
What is the tray made from?
It's 100% melamine, a hard, light plastic with a printed design. Melamine is far less likely to break than ceramic or glass if it's dropped, which makes it a good tray for the garden.
Which designs are available?
We stocked this tray in four Creative Tops designs: Cornish Harbour, Watercolour Poppy, Wild Field Poppies and Blue Abstract. Stock is limited now, so the options show which designs we can still send.
Can I put hot pans on it?
No. Melamine isn't made for heat, so don't put hot pans or dishes straight from the oven on it, and don't use it in the microwave or oven. It's for carrying and serving, not as a trivet.
Can it be used outdoors?
Yes, it's good for carrying drinks and snacks into the garden, because melamine is light and far less likely to break than glass or china if it's dropped. Bring it back inside to store, rather than leaving it out in the sun and rain.
Does it have raised edges?
Yes. The edges are raised about 3cm all the way round, with a cut-out handle at each end, so cups and glasses stay on the tray while you carry it.
