Traditional sofa arm tray
TF
Don’t think that a sofa arm tray will automatically look tacky or out of place! While primarily functional, these items can still be used to complement your decor style or palette. For example, you could look for a traditional wooden design or a cheaper plastic option made to look like it.
As well as immediately looking cozy and more similar to traditional furniture pieces, a sofa arm clip table with raised edges will prevent you from dropping food or drinks on the floor (or yourself).
