If you’ve been thinking of getting a sturdy TV tray and you’re already getting excited about the fact that you’d finally have the best TV-watching experience, then you’re in the right place! We have a buying guide below that will help you pick a sturdy TV tray to make your lounging time even more relaxing and enjoyable!
The shape that’s right for you will depend on the way you will use the tray. What's the average size of the meals or snacks that you eat in front of the TV? Maybe you like grabbing a bowl of cereal or soup. If so, then a small square or round TV tray will suit you. A smaller tray will allow you to have more freedom in moving around your couch as it takes less space.
However, you may need a large tabletop surface to fit snacks, drinks, your laptop and other devices. If so, then choose the biggest TV tray size that your space can accommodate. The shape that’s ideal for you is either rectangular or oval.
- Plastic TV Trays - Trays made of plastic often come with a metal framework to provide a sturdy base. The biggest advantage of having a plastic TV tray is its affordability. But, it’s also lightweight in design so it can be moved around your living room with ease. It's a great idea if you will be transporting the TV tray from one room to another frequently. A high-quality plastic TV tray features resistance to impacts and staining, which means it’s a good option as it will last for a very long time – even up to 10 years.
- Laminate - A laminate TV tray is stronger than one that’s made of plastic. It also typically lasts longer. Of course, it can be a little bit expensive. It's also heavier than plastic. If you compare the two materials, laminate offers a more expensive and professional look compared to plastic. We recommend that you choose a laminate wood TV tray if you’ll be using the table in a family room only.
- Wood - A wooden TV tray is your sturdiest option. It's best in all-around durability, but it comes with a hefty price tag. Think of a wooden TV tray as an investment as it can last long compared to all its other counterparts. If you are on the lookout for a round TV tray, we suggest you get a wooden table as laminate chips over time.
More often than not, the lowest priced TV trays are of lower quality. This means they break faster. You would have to replace your TV tray much sooner. If the table you’ve chosen is lesser in price from one dealer compared to all other online sellers of the same TV tray, be extra careful. The seller that’s selling the tray at a lower price may have a unit that’s been returned.
