Versatile and sturdy
I bought 3 of these for use under pet bowls. They are perfect for the job. Very sturdy and a great size with so many uses - crafts, dining, organizing, plant tray, etc. I love the color, too.

A Versatile and Sturdy Serving Solution
The 12" x 16" size is just right for serving individual meals, snacks, or drinks. Whether it's in a cafeteria, fast food joint, or at home during parties, this tray provides ample space for a well-portioned meal or a collection of appetizers. I particularly appreciate the sturdy build of this tray. Made from high-quality materials, it can handle the weight of multiple plates and glasses without any bending or warping. The reinforced edges further enhance its durability, ensuring it lasts for a long time, even with heavy daily use. The non-skid surface of the tray prevents items from sliding around during transport, making it easy for servers and customers alike. I've also noticed that it helps reduce accidental spills, giving me peace of mind during busy dining times. Another notable feature is the easy-to-clean nature of the tray. It's dishwasher-safe, saving me valuable time and effort in the cleaning process. The black color not only adds a touch of sophistication to any setting but also hides minor scratches or blemishes that may occur over time. Additionally, the stackable design makes storage a breeze, saving precious space in my kitchen cabinets or storage areas. When not in use, I can easily stack multiple trays together without worrying about damage. Whether I'm hosting a party, serving meals to my family, or using it in a commercial setting, the Carlisle CT121603 Café Standard Cafeteria Tray never fails to impress. Its versatility, durability, and easy maintenance have made it a go-to choice for all my serving needs. In conclusion, if you're looking for a practical and reliable cafeteria tray, the Carlisle CT121603 is an excellent investment. Its sturdy construction, non-skid surface, and easy-to-clean features make it a reliable companion for any dining occasion. I highly recommend this tray to anyone in need of a quality serving solution.

Solid Tray!
This Carlisle food tray turned out to be exactly what I needed for everyday meals, snacks, and quick lunches. It’s lightweight but feels sturdy enough to carry a full plate, drink, and silverware without flexing or wobbling. The surface has just the right amount of texture to keep dishes from sliding around, which is a nice touch. The raised edges help catch crumbs or little spills, saving my counters and tabletops from extra messes. It’s also super easy to clean — just a rinse or quick wipe and it’s good to go. I like the size — not oversized, but roomy enough to hold everything comfortably. Great for carrying food from the kitchen to the couch (no judgment!) or out to the patio for a quick meal outside. Honestly, for the price, this tray does its job well and seems durable enough to last a long time.

Great addition for the blackstone!
These are great quality and perfect for grilling! We use them with our blackstone and it’s so easy to vary all of the food we make on with them! They have a texture on the bottom making them easy to hold and nonslip! Decent size, imagine a cafeteria lunch tray, it’s about that size minus the compartments a lunch tray normally has! Thickness wise- they are great thickness. Not too thin where you fear things won’t hold up!

Cafe trays at home
Good size. Does scratch if too rough with utensils. The size of fast food trays. Love having these around to grab. Good thickness, sturdy. Color is full and consistent. I got 4 of these, each for 2 dollars. Good deal.

Great Simple, Sturdy Trays
I don't know how they ever built the pyramids or Stonehenge without duct tape, steak knives, and a good supply of these great cafe trays! Whether you know it or not, you need these things. In fact, if you think you might want, say, two trays, my advice would be to order at least six. They don't cost much, take up little storage space, and once you have them, as other reviewers have noted, you will keep discovering new ways to use them. They're among my very best tools - simple and attractive, tough, versatile and inexpensive. I know I've bought at least 20 of them in various sizes. That would probably be enough, if I hadn't shared some with friends (because they're such useful things), and if I could keep them from migrating to the basement and garage when my partner has the occasional impulse to organize. As it is, I'm ready to get "just a few" more trays soon. I need some in black to match new granite countertops, at least. The narrow bit between the sink and back door is always collecting stuff, and if you throw down car keys and dog leashes often enough, there goes the surface. My solution - you guessed it- is another cafe tray or two, which will contain the clutter and protect the counter. (Granite reminds me of rosebushes; how did either one survive for millions of years without humans to coddle them?) Of course, normal folks may not find these trays so essential. But in my house, people pile things - everywhere! Tools, keys, gloves, hats, sunglasses, cell phones, pens, toys, craft items - they all get flung down on any horizontal surface. And then there are all the papers and books, magazines and catalogs... For years, the almost-joke has run that we only see the dining table briefly at tax prep time, when the year's paperwork for once gets sorted and properly filed. I'm always seeking ways to manage the chaos, and these trays are great for setting aside unfinished projects for later, or for shifting the perennial paper clutter if we have guests, or take a wild notion to ... actually eat a meal at the table. I use them to hold plants, and to contain the mess of dog dishes, and I'd hate to deal with toddlers without them. When not otherwise occupied, they even make nice serving trays! Give them a try - if you don't like them, you're sure to know someone who would.

Comes in handy!
Great for carrying food all at once, I don’t use it to carry drinks but I use it for plates, bowls, side dishes. Also great for eating pizza no dishes just out the pizza on here. So easy to wash but it does not fit in the dishwasher. Also really great if you’re eating food your ordered in. Honestly might come in handy if you eat in your car on lunch breaks depending on your set up of course. But I have this in two sizes the bigger size and slightly smaller. Both sizes do not fit in the dishwasher or at least my dish washer. Had a friend visiting and I gave her a tray as we ordered Mexican food. She laughed when I gave her the tray and within a min said if she didn’t have the tray she would have made a huge mess on the couch as her food leaked and the tray caught it all! I use lighter dishes on this usually reusable plastic dishes or a ceramic dinner plate and a small ceramic dipping dish. It’s been great for what I use no issues with the weight on these. Also! I do not have a table to eat at so this is so much nicer if you have to eat over your lap like myself.

Prefect size and non slip surface
I love these trays because they have a bit of a textured surface so your plate doesn't slide while walking with your tray, the only negative I have to say is that one of the two trays I had ordered before was not flat anymore in the middle after a while so your plate wouldn't stay in place that's why I ordered two more hopefully these two will not do that.

Muy buena para uso en laboratorio
Muy buen plástico, se ve que cuando se hace viejo, no endurece y se quiebra. Excelente costo-beneficio.
