Product Insights
This bamboo tray by Simons Maison, $14 CAD and in stock, offers tensile strength rivaling steel, compressive strength exceeding concrete, and a silica barrier for moisture resistance, making it ideal for bathroom jewelry storage on tight surfaces (16x26 cm) with a black finish that coordinates with dark hardware; however, it demands periodic oiling and immediate drying after wiping to prevent water damage and extend its life to 10–15 years, and its price is roughly double that of the IKEA OSTBIT for the premium, sustainably harvested bamboo.
Verified claims
- Durability
- Bamboo's tensile strength rivals steel; with regular oiling and keeping the tray dry between uses, its lifespan can reach 10–15 years.
- Size
- The 16x26 cm tray is smaller than the IKEA OSTBIT (20x28 cm), fitting tight surfaces.
- Aesthetic
- Available in black finish that coordinates with dark bathroom hardware.
- Strength
- Tensile strength rivals steel; compressive strength exceeds concrete.
- Moisture resistance
- Bamboo's silica barrier repels water, so the tray is less likely to warp or swell in a steamy bathroom and dries without lingering damp smells.
- Maintenance
- Periodic oiling creates a moisture barrier that helps prevent warping and cracking; combined with keeping the tray dry between uses, it can extend life to 10–15 years.
- Sustainability
- Bamboo regenerates from its root system without replanting and is rarely grown with pesticides; with regular oiling and keeping the tray dry, it can last 10+ years.
- Cleaning
- Wipe with slightly damp soft cloth and dry; lift water stains with diluted vinegar.
- Bathroom style
- Black finish matches black hardware and contrasts with natural bamboo rivals.
- Value
- $14 CAD, roughly double IKEA OSTBIT, premium for black finish.
- Care requirements
- Black finish needs immediate drying after wiping and periodic oiling.
- Material
- 100% bamboo with black finish resists humidity better than IKEA's fibreboard-veneer tray.
- Placement
- Designed for jewelry and small everyday items on dressers, desks, or entryway tables, not kitchen serving.
- Compactness
- At 16 x 26 cm, the tray is smaller than IKEA's OSTBIT small tray, making it a better fit for tight vanity spaces or nightstands.
- Buyer quality impressions
- Buyers describe the tray as exactly as pictured, well made, and good quality.

A catch-all tray for jewelry and eyewear
Keep everyday small items in one spot with this shallow bamboo tray, which the merchant describes as perfect for jewelry and small everyday items. Customer reviewers report using it as an eyewear and accessory display, finding it well sized for glasses, frames, and small jewelry. Its low raised rim helps keep the interior well tidy while items stay visible at a glance.[1,2]
Toilet-tank organizer for lotions and toiletries
Per a reviews analysis, customers use this bamboo tray on top of the toilet tank as a small toiletry organizer, reporting that it fits securely and keeps lotions within easy reach without cluttering the tank. Reviewers also describe it as sized well for toilet tanks, as well as vanities and narrow shelves.[1]
Vanity organizer and counter protector
Keep lotions, glasses, jewellery, and other small essentials tidy and within reach on the bathroom vanity.

Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Bamboo Tray: Choose this if you want a sleek, small-footprint tray for organizing jewellery, glasses, lotions, or everyday pocket items. The 6 by 10 inch (16 x 26 cm) shallow design with a low raised rim fits toilet tanks, vanities, and narrow shelves, and reviewers report it looks just like the photos in its dark matte finish; it is made of 100% responsibly sourced bamboo. Note that some buyers received units with corner damage in transit, so it is worth inspecting the tray upon delivery.[1,2,3] | Square Acacia Wood Tray: Choose this if you want a small wooden catch-all for jewellery and everyday items: it is a 7 inch by 7 inch (17.5 by 17.5 cm) square tray in genuine, responsibly sourced acacia wood, with a shallow recessed well, low rim, and smooth satin finish that wipes clean with a damp cloth. Note that because of its artisanal character, each piece is unique and may show subtle variations in grain, tone, or small natural marks.[4,5] | Dark Bamboo 2-In-1 Tray: Choose this if you want a large, waterproof bamboo tray for soaking with a freestanding or clawfoot tub — its extendable sides reportedly grip exposed tub rims securely, and reviewers praised its attractive dark bamboo finish. It offers many compartments, including a slotted book or tablet rest, a circular cutout for a stemmed glass, a phone slot, and a draining soap dish. Note that it does not work with built-in alcove tubs since there is no rim to rest on, its fixed legs can dig into mattresses or keep it from sitting flat in bed, and its weight can feel cumbersome to lift on and off the tub, especially when loaded.[6,7,8] |

Bamboo Tray
I love it. Sits perfectly on the top of my toilet holding my Bare Venus lotions. I used some of my salad bowl wax to give it some protection. I will be buying more for our vanities etc.
