This Snack Tray was made to fulfill a special need. We have a sectional couch made up of individual units. The arms and sides are the same height as the back and so it is very hard to reach around them. I got tired of balancing drinks and snacks on my lap, so I built this tray to sit between the seats. It is supported by a thin “Fin” that slides between the sections and rests on the floor. It is remarkably stable and doesn’t move even when you bounce on the couch. The wood is Black Walnut burl bookmatched and Oregon Maple sides.

Ivan,
Nice build.
One of the great things about being a woodworker is the ability to customize a project to fit your needs.
This project is a good example of that.

Great idea. Necessity is the mother of invention! I love the design and the darker tray part. I have got to make one of these for my couch! Keep up the good work.
