A tray for a footstool. Help

Hi all. Have a large footstool I want to be able to use as a drinks rest ;)

Where do I get a stylish modern tray or “hard thing” to use?

Homesense (and TK Maxx) often have them. I've not purchased any there myself, but they seem to have quite a few metal ones in different finishes/design if that's the kind of thing you want.

We did pick up a dark teal blue one for the kitchen from Dunelm recently (only £10!), but they didn't have a massive choice of colours.

Previously - in the days before covid 🙄 - I found a great oriental design lacquered one from a fleamarket, although it's not really big enough for the purpose.

I'm actually hunting for a very plain lacquered tray in a specific colour for ours (olive green or orange!), but considering these trays appear to be very on trend, there don't seem to be many places stocking them in interesting colours 🙁

So, I'd also be interested to hear if anyone has any suggestions for where to locate these, please.....

what about a plain bread board??

or I have a chessboard on mine, dh apparently carted this thing home for his father from some school trip, it's marble or onyx or something..weighs a blooming tonne and is leaving a nice square dent in my pouffe but it is brilliant for cups and glasses!

Before that I had one of my Poison Trays ....big round ethnic metal thing which came with a baby one, in a box of auction oddments, we call them poison trays cos they are probably painted with something life threatening what with being v old and tatty and unknown metal
