Folding TV trays can make family entertainment nights more convenient, allowing you to share a meal comfortably with loved ones while bonding over a series or movie. But the rest of the time, it might feel like your trays are just collecting dust. With a bit of creativity, you can transform them into multi-functional furniture pieces for your home.
Wooden folding TV trays can double as an end table for your living room since it’s the perfect height for easy access from the couch. Decorate it with a lamp, picture frame, or a candle to add warmth and elegance to your home without investing in a new table.
A folding TV tray can also make a beautiful beverage station for displaying your fanciest liquors and crystal decanters. Place the station beneath an art piece on the wall that complements your folding tray’s colors for an effortless statement piece that will make you a popular host.
You can even bring your TV folding tray outdoors and spruce up your porch. Use the table for summer days when you need a snack table for outdoor gatherings, or place it against the wall of your house and decorate it with a potted plant, creating a makeshift seating area. If you have a wooden folding TV tray ensure that it is treated and sealed before using it outdoors to prevent moisture damage.
Most wooden folding TV trays are easy to put away. When finished with one, fold down the one side and position them back in their base stand. While not all stands or folding mechanisms are the same for these portable trays, rarely are they difficult to fold and store.
If you have just one tray, simply fold down the collapsible side and tuck the tray, creating a streamlined piece of furniture to store in closets, under the bed, or against the wall out of the way. The legs may be squared or come in an X-shape and lock in place when in use. Occasionally these mechanisms will stick, requiring you to use a little more force to get the fold started.
If you have a set of wooden folding TV trays, you’ll most likely have a simple base to store them in whenever not in use. Fold the tray down to its smallest size and hang on the base, or slide into the base depending on its design.
To prevent water stains from forming on wooden folding TV trays, one of the best things to do to protect the wood is to apply a layer of a protective finish. Various finishes can be used that are extremely effective, including varnish and lacquer. In addition, most wooden TV tray models already come with a sealant pre-applied, making the piece resistant to staining and preventing water rings.
If your wooden folding TV tray does form water stains, there are ways you can remove them from your furniture. First, mix equal amounts of olive oil and vinegar into a small bowl. Next, use a soft cloth and apply it to the water stain, wiping in the direction of the wood grain until you have removed the stain completely. This mixture is multi-functional, with the vinegar helping to remove the stain, and the olive oil acts as a furniture polish.
