A catch-all spot for jewellery and small daily items
On a dresser or vanity, this small checkerboard tray gives rings, earrings, a watch and keys a designated spot at day's end. Reviewers say it holds these small items without taking up space, and the retro pattern adds a touch of elegance to the dresser. Note that it runs smaller than some expected, so it's best suited to a few pieces rather than a large display.[1]
A roomy spot for soap, pumice, and razor by the sink
This tray works as a bathroom soap dish, and customers note it holds more than a traditional soap dish: a bar of soap, a pumice stone, and a razor can all sit on it at once.[1]
Entryway Key and Jewelry Organizer
Use the Checkerboard Small Tray as an entryway key drop to help you always find your keys when arriving home. This dedicated spot is also great for keeping jewelry organized.[1]
Front-hall plant tray
One customer reports using this tray under a plant in a front hall, where the checkerboard pattern blends in with floor tiles. It's a decorative way to catch drips while fitting the entryway's look.[1]
Nightstand catch-all for coins and nightly essentials
Set this small checkerboard tray on your bedside table to corral loose coins and the items you empty from your pockets each night. It keeps nightly essentials tidy and in one place instead of scattered on the nightstand.[1]
A fun Christmas gift
A reviewer found the Checkerboard Small Tray affordable and charming enough to buy three as Christmas presents. Because some trays show small finish imperfections on arrival, check the one you receive before wrapping it as a gift.[1]
A small display tray best suited to jewellery and keys, not larger centrepieces
The Checkerboard Small Tray can hold small everyday items like jewellery and keys on display, and some reviewers liked it for this. Reviews are mixed for decorative display use: multiple reviewers found it runs smaller than expected and were disappointed when they wanted a larger centrepiece or display surface. Since some trays arrive with visible finish imperfections, the reviews analysis suggests inspecting it on arrival if you plan to use it as a centrepiece or gift.[1]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Checkerboard Small Tray: Choose this if you want a small, retro-style catch-all for jewellery, keys, coins, or soap — reviewers use it on dressers, nightstands, and entryways, and say the checkerboard pattern fits Anthropologie-style decor while adding elegance. It measures 6.25 by 4.75 inches (16 x 12 cm) in one Black and White size, with a glossy finish, raised white rim, thin metallic gold trim, and it is a Simons Maison exclusive designed in Canada. Be aware it runs smaller than expected — multiple reviewers found it too small for a centrepiece or larger display — and while the listing specifies ceramic, one reviewer described it as just plastic, and some trays arrived with finish imperfections or a chip on the bottom.[1,2] | Small Black Rounded Tray: Choose this if you want a small decorative catch-all for jewellery and everyday items: this ceramic tray is glossy black, about 4.25 inches (11 cm) in diameter, with a low rounded form and shallow central depression that holds small items. Its undulating inward-sloping rim and reflective high-gloss surface suit a vanity or entry spot, though the shallow depth and one-size format make it best for small, light items rather than larger storage.[3,4,5] | Embossed Trim Small Ceramic Tray: Choose this if you appreciate a refined piece with a Victorian twist, perfect for holding jewellery and small everyday items. It measures five inches by seven and three-quarters inches and features a glossy, smooth exterior accented by a decorative scalloped rim. While the overall finish is glossy, the interior surface is matte with a textured, crackle-like finish.[6,7,8] |

S’agence très bien avec mon plancher avec les mêmes carreaux…
More than a tray!
I ordered two of these and use them as soap dishes in the black and white en-suite bathroom. A traditional soap dish is too small to accommodate soap, a pumic stone and a razor. This tray accommodates all three comfortably. Looks wonderful too!
wow
vraiment beau.

It’s a match!
One wee tray in the bathroom and one wee tray in the front hall ( under a plant). Delighted in both as the checkerboard pattern matches our floors:-)
petitit plateau pratique
ce plateau est très pratique pour y déposer nos clés lors de notre arrivée, donc toujours certain de retrouver nos clés dans l'appartement
Very cute, good aesthetic
Good to have for little items, or on your bedside table. The aesthetic is very art deco with the white-black-gold colour palette. It is quite small though, keep that in mind.
