a rolling tray is a flat surface with a lip, so nothing ends up on the table or the floor. size is the main choice. RAW's sizes are the usual reference.
- small is the everyday size.
- large fits everything, grinder included.
- metal lasts longest and wipes clean.

what they're made of
magnetic covers
a lid that sticks to a metal tray and keeps things where you left them. doubles as a second surface.
ashtrays
glass or crystal is heavy enough not to slide and easy to wash. RAW's crystal ashtray is lead-free crystal glass, and the rainbow glass ashtray comes boxed. for outside, the pocket ashtray closes up.
cleaning a metal tray. warm soapy water or a wipe. skip anything abrasive. it scratches the finish.
the short of it
small for every day, large if you want the grinder on it too, mini for a bag. metal lasts. glass for the ashtray.
