I'm happy with the tray, but frankly disappointed in the lid. The finish on the lid is not as nice as the tray and makes the whole thing look less professional.

Nice product. It was delivered quickly and safely. When not in use, sitting on the table, it looks like a very professional piece of equipment.
The cover, though contributing to a clean appearance, can be too easily knocked off. It could be a little sturdier. Otherwise, I am very satisfied with the tray.

by Julie Brenneise

It appears to be well built and sturdy. My only issues are that I wish there was an option for the dark stain with a lid that is flat like this one because I use the top of the sandtray as a table for art-making and I prefer the darker stain. I also wish it was slightly deeper and not as wide, but that is just my personal preference.

I've been doing sand tray therapy sessions in a large cake tin for a few months. Sessions have been meaningful and successful! However, with this new wooden tray I have noticed deeper conversations and more meaningful thought put into the tray. Clients seem to connect easier and they seem to focus more with the color combination and natural aesthetic of the wood. I don't know what it is, but this "real" tray just opened up a bigger world for both myself and my clients. I wish I got it sooner!
