A tray is a flat, shallow container used for carrying or holding items. It often has raised edges to prevent objects from sliding off and can be made from various materials, including wood, plastic, metal, or glass. Trays are commonly used in households, restaurants, and cafes to serve food and drinks. Trays come in different shapes and sizes, such as rectangular, round, or square, to accommodate various needs. They can also be decorative, enhancing the presentation of items like food, drinks, or decorative objects. Some trays are designed for specific purposes, like serving tea or organizing items on a desk.
