Ongrok Premium Natural Acacia Wood Tray 9.5” x 9.5” – Multi Stone Finish

WHAT AM I?

A wooden rolling tray made from Acacia. A beautiful finish with 3 compartments/zones separated by raised wall internally. Each zone is of a different size with one dedicated to artwork, a Multi Stone Finish with a shiny glaze. A food grade protective coating. Ongrok was first introduced to me via one of my helpful staff members, she was particularly excited when I arrived one morning, and we then spent the day ogling their catalogue. Designed in North America (AKA Canada) with what I would describe as a modern minimalistic flair. 

As for the name? Comes from the word “Grok”, a term used in Robert Heinlein’s novel – Stranger in a Strange Land. Definition? To understand something deeply, intuitively or by empathy. Which is exactly the philosophy Ongrok stands by!

WHY AM I SPECIAL?

Rolling Trays are very useful IMHO, an easy way to stay organised especially when you like to move about from room to room. They can also provide a flat surface wherever you may eventually end up. A good tray should be multi-zoned with high walls or why even bother? Ongrok makes 3 different styles of rolling tray (+ eco and sustainable bamboo) and this Acacia Wood version is my favourite of all. The largest of all their trays, it is a perfect square and is completely handmade. Each tray will be a little unique and no 2 will be identical. These trays are obviously multi-usage and I am currently deciding which version I want for myself (probably stone). I will be using it to store jewelry and my sunglass collection!

Why Acacia Wood? A highly durable wood known for its density and hardness. A great material for heavy-use items as it is water resistant, resistant to fungus/mould and wont scratch easily. Acacia is also predominately used when food grade materials are required as it is considered to be naturally antibacterial.

3 versions each with a unique marking – this is the Multiple Stone Finish with a multitude of coloured stones shown. Each tray has 3 distinct areas, each a different size and only one zone depicts the stones. The walls between each zone and along the entire perimeter are rounded and quite high. The larger zone has a discard corner (gap in the walls) so you can easily sweep material off the tray. Lastly, there are little silicone feet upon the base to counteract any slippage.

Measuring: 241mm x 241mm (a perfect square).
