Montes Doggett Trays

Yes, these trays are designed for serving food. Because they are crafted from natural wood, we recommend using them for dry snacks like crackers, cheeses, or fruit rather than liquids or heavily sauced items.

To preserve the natural finish, wipe the trays clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking them in water or putting them in the dishwasher, and occasionally apply a food-safe mineral oil to keep the wood from drying out.

No, each tray is unique. The organic nature of the wood means you should expect variations in grain pattern, color tone, and texture, which is part of the appeal of handcrafted pieces.

Absolutely. Their organic aesthetic makes them excellent foundations for vignettes. Just be mindful of heat—if using candles, ensure they are in protective holders to prevent wax from dripping directly onto the wood.

They are solid and substantial, reflecting the quality of the wood construction. While they are sturdy enough to carry drinks or appetizers, they have a weighted feel that adds to their stability on a tabletop.
