Wooden trays — handcrafted serving, ottoman and vanity trays from India.
Solid sheesham, mango and acacia cut, joined and finished by hand — serving and breakfast trays, ottoman and coffee-table trays, bathroom and vanity trays, and brass-handled décor trays. A high-margin, giftable accessory that nests to fill a container and lifts an order's average value, documented for import and consolidated alongside your furniture in one compliant load.
Small piece, warm feel, high margin per cubic metre.
A wooden tray is the accessory a buyer reaches for first: it styles a coffee table, an ottoman, a bar cart or a bathroom vanity, works as a gift on its own, and anchors a tablescape. Because trays nest and stack, they recover the dead space in a container and add value without adding much freight. Cut from genuine Indian hardwood with grain and character machine-pressed goods cannot fake, they carry the Jodhpur solid-wood credibility your customers recognise. We make trays the way we make furniture — real joinery, QC on every piece, and the paperwork that lets them clear customs without a pause.
A tray for every surface you merchandise.
Each shape ships as our ready ODM design or made to your own drawing, wood and finish (OEM), with retail-ready, gift and branded packaging. Mix plain, handled and inlay trays in one order.
Serving & breakfast trays
Classic rectangular and oval trays with cut-out grips or metal handles — the everyday kitchen-and-dining seller, in sheesham, mango and acacia.
Ottoman & coffee-table trays
Large round and square trays with a raised lip — the statement piece that corrals remotes, books and candles and defines a styled living room.
Vanity & bathroom trays
Compact trays that hold perfume, soap and jewellery — a perennial bath-and-body and spa-retail line, often finished in whitewash or pale stain.
Catch-all & valet trays
Shallow entryway and desk trays for keys, watches and trinkets — small, giftable and ideal for impulse and checkout-shelf ranges.
Brass & iron-handled trays
Solid wood paired with hand-cast Moradabad brass or wrought-iron handles in antique, polished or powder-coated finishes — the look that lifts a shelf.
Inlay & carved trays
Jaipur-tradition bone-inlay and mother-of-pearl trays, carved sheesham, and wood framing a marble insert — collectible pieces mass goods cannot match.
Wooden trays — the detail buyers ask for.

Joined in Jodhpur, finished by hand, built to be kept.
Jodhpur is India's largest solid-wood cluster, and its carpenters have turned sheesham and mango into furniture, boxes and trays for generations. We select boards for even grain, machine the shape and edge true, then hand-sand and finish each tray so it arrives ready for the shelf. For handled and inlay designs we draw on the Moradabad metal and Jaipur inlay traditions through our own factory and a vetted network — so a single order can carry plain solid-wood, brass-handled and bone-inlay trays under one QC regime and one invoice. The same genuine hardwood makes us a credible solid-wood alternative for buyers diversifying their sourcing away from China.
| Where the craft comes from | What it adds |
|---|---|
| Jodhpur solid-wood cluster | Sheesham, mango & acacia joinery |
| Saharanpur carving tradition | Hand-carved relief and fretwork detail |
| Jaipur inlay tradition | Bone & mother-of-pearl inlay faces |
| Moradabad brass cluster | Hand-cast handles — antique, polished, powder-coated |
| Our factory & network | One QC standard, one invoice, mixed loads |
Solid timber, documented for import — and engineered to travel.
Because a wooden tray is solid timber, it carries our full wood-compliance set: FSC chain-of-custody, Vriksh timber-legality and CITES-compliant handling of sheesham, with EUDR-ready geolocation and deforestation-free due diligence. We support US Lacey Act declarations, UK Timber Regulation, CARB / TSCA Title VI finishes and ISPM-15 heat-treated export packing. Trays are stacked by size with slip-sheets, corner-protected and cartoned, their nesting shapes recovering container volume, then consolidated with your wider order and QC-checked before loading at Mundra or Nhava Sheva — so your load clears on one compliant set of documents.

Sourcing wooden trays from India.
What are your wooden trays made of?
Each tray is cut and joined from solid hardwood — sheesham (Indian rosewood), mango or acacia — chosen for close grain and strength, with reclaimed-wood and teak options on request. We offer plain solid-wood trays, trays with hand-cast brass or wrought-iron handles, and wood trays set with bone inlay, mother-of-pearl or a marble insert. Every piece is hand-sanded and finished before despatch, with CARB / TSCA-compliant low-emission finishes available for US and EU buyers.
What sizes, shapes and finishes do wooden trays come in?
Round, oval, square, rectangular and ottoman-size, from small vanity and valet trays to large serving and breakfast trays, with or without a raised lip, cut-out grips or metal handles. Finishes include natural oil, matte and satin lacquer, walnut and honey stains, whitewash, and antique / distressed, in CARB / TSCA-compliant formulations. Exact dimensions, shape, edge and finish are built to your drawing; full specification ships with every quotation.
What is the minimum order and lead time for wooden trays?
A trial or sample order can ship LCL so you approve the wood, finish and packaging first. For best wholesale pricing, one 20ft full container load is our standard minimum thereafter, and trays nest and consolidate freely with furniture, décor and metalware in a mixed load. Typical lead time is 30–45 days, with urgent orders available at a premium.
Can you private-label wooden trays with custom engraving or branding?
Yes. We are both ODM and OEM — produce our catalogue shapes or your own drawings, woods, edges and handle styles, with custom CNC carving, laser or routed engraving, and burned or branded monograms to your artwork. Packaging is custom, retail-ready, Amazon-FBA-ready, branded or gift-boxed for Wayfair, Amazon, Etsy and chain-retail channels.
Are your wooden trays compliant for import into the US and EU?
Yes. Because trays are solid timber, they carry our full wood-compliance set — FSC chain-of-custody, Vriksh timber-legality and CITES-compliant sheesham handling, with EUDR-ready geolocation and deforestation-free due diligence. We support US Lacey Act declarations, UK Timber Regulation, CARB / TSCA finishes and ISPM-15 heat-treated export packing, delivered as one compliant set of documents for the whole container.
How do you pack wooden trays for ocean freight?
Trays are stacked by size with slip-sheets between faces, corner-protected and cartoned, then loaded in ISPM-15 heat-treated packaging. Nesting shapes recover container volume, and we balance the load by consolidating trays with your wider furniture and décor order. Every piece is QC-checked before loading at Mundra or Nhava Sheva and shipped on FOB or CIF terms.
Send us your shapes and finishes — we'll quote and sample them.
Share a reference, a catalogue or a drawing, with your woods, sizes and handle styles. We'll come back with FOB / CIF pricing, MOQs and lead times, and produce a sample so you approve the wood and the make before you commit a container.
