Why Buy From Us?
Real wood, not a plastic rim
Our trays are finished with a classic raised wooden frame that looks at home in any living room and helps stop plates, cups and pens sliding off. Inside it, a smooth laminated top wipes clean in seconds.
Handmade in designer fabrics
Every tray is handmade, with cushions in prints you won't find on a standard lap tray, from William Morris classics to cheerful originals like Busy Bees. Something you'll be glad to have out, and a gift that feels special.
Made for Independent Living
We help people with limited mobility, their families and carers every day, so we know how much a steady surface matters. The bean bag base is filled with just the right amount of poly balls to mould to your lap and stay put, in bed, on the sofa or in your armchair.
