Whether their used in living rooms, family rooms, dorm rooms, college apartments or dens, ottomans and cocktail ottomans have gained so much popularity, that the plain old coffee table has practically become an endangered species! What makes these furniture finds so high in demand is their multifunctional fabulousness. Is it a chair? Is it a leg rest? Is it a table? Well, yes! Ottomans are the most versatile furniture pieces, and what helps ottomans to be more multipurpose than ever? Ottoman trays!

Ottoman trays are must have accessories for any cocktail ottoman because they add the sturdy, stable, steady surface for guests and homeowners to rest their drinks, snacks and even board games. Having an ottoman tray means having the ability to turn any ottoman into a coffee table while still retaining the ability to plop tired feet on it when it's not being used for food or drink. Many homeowners leave their ottoman trays on top of the ottomans semi-permanently for ease of use and only remove it when extra seating is needed for company.

Ottoman trays are available in countless styles, shapes, colors, patterns, prints, sizes and materials. From styles like contemporary, Art Deco, modern and shabby chic décor to traditional, mission and transitional, the options are limitless and with their popularity ever growing, they're being created in more designs than ever before. There are even customizable ottoman trays that allow for photos to be places inside. Some types of ottoman trays include leather, molded plastic, acrylic, glass, marble, chrome, brass, wood and combinations of materials as well like wood and metal or glass and marble. Some feature handles, or downward molded sides that hug the ottoman to prevent slipping. These styles can also be flipped over and used as trays with upward facing sides as well. Ottoman trays can also be used as serving trays for appetizers and drinks during parties or they can be placed on sofas to hold television snacks on family night.
