A long, low run of weathered planks, nail holes and all, with a cut-out handle at each end. This is the decorative tray that turns a bare dining table into a set one: fill it with pillar candles and a trail of eucalyptus for the center, or line up three small pots of herbs and slide it onto the kitchen windowsill. On a console it corrals keys, mail and sunglasses. On a coffee table it holds the remotes and a stack of coasters and somehow reads as decor while it does it.

The surface is left rough on purpose. Saw marks, knots and old nail heads show through the finish, so the tray looks like it was pulled from a barn rather than bought new. It is long enough to run down a farmhouse table as a centerpiece and shallow enough that whatever you set in it stays on show. Lift it by the handles and the whole arrangement moves with you.
