Using a Ribbed Pedestal Tray on a Vanity, Console or Coffee Table

The Ribbed Pedestal Tray has a clean white ribbed bowl on a warm wood-tone base. It is sold in three sizes, 6.9, 7.9 and 9.8 inches, from $35 to $60. It is a flexible piece, so here are four ways to use it.

1. On a Console by the Door

Use the small or medium size as a key tray. Keys, sunglasses and a card or two fit well. Pair it with a wall-mounted key holder above it for a tidy drop zone. Our guide to setting up a drop zone explains the layout.

2. On a Bathroom Vanity

The listing names a bathroom organizer as one use. A small tray keeps rings, hair ties or small jars in one place. Remember it is decorative use only and not for direct food contact.

3. On a Coffee Table

Use the large size as a centerpiece. Place a candle or a small object in the middle, and set a book or two beside it. The raised pedestal base gives it a gallery-style look.

4. On a Shelf or Dresser

Use any size to hold a few small things you want within reach, such as a watch, a ring dish or a pair of earrings.

Sizing Guide

  • Small, 6.9 inches: vanity, nightstand or tight console
  • Medium, 7.9 inches: console, dresser or desk
  • Large, 9.8 inches: coffee table or dining table

Styling Tips

  1. Fill it about halfway so the ribbed texture stays visible.
  2. Keep the contents in one or two colors.
  3. Place it near a lamp or window so the ridges catch light.

A vase like the Ribbed Bottle Vase in Cream or Sage Green gives you height behind the tray. For another bowl style, see catch-all trays and bowls: how to choose.
