Carlisle FoodService Products CT121623 Café Standard Cafeteria / Fast Food Tray, 12" x 16", Gray

These are great! These trays have been so useful for different projects we’ve done. We’ve used them for crafts and food and taking scraps out to chickens. They are the perfect affordable option to keep on hand for sick days when a child needs lunch on their room. They aren’t flimsy at all, the top is textured so bowls or plates don’t slide around, and they aren’t heavy or too bulky for younger users. We bought forest green bc we have decorated with light teals and green. They match the decor. They’re also super easy to clean and can fit in the dishwasher!

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.

I bought this to use when working on small items such as disassembling pistols for cleaning. I picked gray so black parts would still show up. Wished I would have thought of this years ago.I am sure it would make a good food tray based on my experience.

I bought a few of these to use as water trays for bottom-up watering of seedling plants. Once ready, I carry them in the tray out to the garden or flower bed and plant. Can't beat this deal.

Works well for me. I’m in assisted living and I need to keep a small table clear for a meal tray. Everything is on this tray. Come meal tray I can pick up this tray and put it on my big table and the little table is cleared for the food tray. It’s very useful. It holds a “bunch of stuff” that i would otherwise have to remove one at at time.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Bought for kid to carry dishes from dorm room to kitchen and back for food and dishes. Works eas expected, and a great quality. I have several in my house as well. Old school cafeteria trays, great product.

The item: CT121623 Café Tray fits perfect for my needs and is sturdy enough for placement on my lap. It appears to be in new condition.

Great addition to my household for price. Well made - sturdy, does well in dishwasher. I use under plants, bringing items out to the grill, carrying things to the table, bringing multiple items from floor to floor. For the price, these trays are a staple.
