Ah, I've had my eye on this tray table for a while now! I would love to use it as a side table next to the sofa. As I just moved in with my fiance, there are a few furniture items that need a little updating (hello bedside table from your freshman year of college).
I love this table! I'd likely use it as a side table to put pretty things on in my studio, which I'm currently in the midst of redecorating!
Love this tray! I'd use it as a bar tray in my tiny NYC apt - to hold liquor and glasses for spring cocktail making!

I would love to use this as a mini bar in my house! So cute I may have to purchase even if I don't win :)
This is awesome! I'd love to have it right where I come in for my purse & catch all. I always throw things at random & then I can't find my stuff!
it will make a fab bar cart style tray in my casa, which would be awesome to free up one of the cabinets to stuff other stuff in! yeah, and i love how it is so shiny!
I love this butler tray to death and the name makes me feel extra fancy. I would use it to replace my husbands bedside table, which is currently stacked vintage trunks (which he is less than fond of). Thanks for the fun contest!
This just might be my answer to an "entry way" piece of furniture to drop keys, mail, bags, etc. It would be perfect!
we could keep it in the guest room when friends come to visit - it would be the perfect place for leaving them a couple bottled waters, city maps, and a list of fun local things to do!
This is the perfect side table - your loft is looking fantastic! I've been eyeing this bar tray for awhile at west elm. I've got a desk, rug and lamp from them and they have all been such great pieces.
Thanks for hosting this lovely giveaway! xx
Oooh, I LOVE it! I would use it as a side table for my couch! :)
Loving the little unicorn guy. And that tray table would be perfect at the end of my hall!

I would use this lovely tray to set up a bar area (it will hold hard liquor and vintage bar ware & cups).
Oh my! This is SO lovely. I'm actually pulling a Bri this weekend and MOVING IN with my boyfriend. So excited to start moving this Friday.
This would be a perfect bedside table in our new little lofted bedroom of our tiny new house!
Oh how wonderful!
I would use it in my office for my fat cat Sammy to lay on instead of right on my keyboard while I'm working!
Love this! It'd make such a cute bar "cart" also! :)
Great giveaway! I would place it by the front door / in our entryway. It would be a convenient place to drop my keys and sunglasses on my way into our home. Thanks for the chance to win! xo.

My heart flutters. I love this. AND I think I would use it as living room end tables by my couches. Great give away!
using this tray as a bedside table is a great idea! i also want it as a side coffee table. :-) thanks!
Oooh, what a great giveaway! I would use this tray in my living room, to replace the tv tray I've been using as a side table since my college days. It would be a great excuse to purchase the turquoise rotary phone that I've been eyeing for months!
this would be perfect to serve as a bar in the living room of my new place!
I would use this lovely little piece to display my crystal liquor bottles and glasses!
Perfect as a side serving table!
i would either use it as a nightstand (like you) or as a mini bar.
btw - COMPLETELY enthralled with your brass unicorn!
hello, perfect side table to my groovy round 70s couch!
I would use this simple-yet-elegant table in the living room as a place for guests to set their drinks. This will save my husband from a heart attack when people set their drinks atop the receiver or turntable cover!
Awesome table
I would definitely use it as a side table or better yet to hold my bottles of wine and some glasses
Thank you!
Love it as a nightstand! I would try it out at a part of a small barcart or on top my dresser to hold pretty odds and ends.
I'd use this in my foyer as a catch all for purses, keys and a cute change vase!
Um...So cute. I've been looking for a way to display my jewelry and I think this may be it. I can already imagine all my colorful peices placed on it under my mirror.
I would use it as a mini bar for the living room - it would be perfect. Please pick me :)
it,s beautiful and would look great in my front room, or hall, but as said before i am canadian..not fair...we like nice things too...
im in major need for a side table in my living room. this would be absolutely perfect!!
It would go perfect in my new studio space!! I am just getting sent up and I have this colorful vintage book collection that would look smashing on the tray!! :)
I LOVE West Elm. I would put this in my living room next to my West Elm pebble rug. We are in need of a side table!!! Thx for the opportunity. ;)
West Elm Butler Tray... AKA "HI-FI LIFT"
I've been seeking a tray to elevate my vintage Marantz turntable, I call her Old Gold. This tray could be the perfect lift to elevate my floor-ridden turntable and improve my apartment's style!
Of course I would use this table as our end table next to our couch.
OH how I love it. I'd use it as a side table in our living room to showcase my milk glass collection and some fresh peonies. xoxo, love ya Bri!
How did you know? I have pinterested & bookmarked this white tray for our new place. I just moved in with my boyfriend too (first time living with a boy :) and this would be perfect in our tiny 500 sq ft bungalow. I would place it by the front door as a catch all for keys & mail. And also a few cool knickknacks from the flea market.
I would use it as a wetbar/jewelry display...it works in my head.
This would go perfect in our dining room under our new wine racks!
I have been eyeing this tray table for a while now- I have a large bathroom & I would use this table next to my vanity as a spot for my vintage mirror and perfume collection, adding maybe a tiny vase with some fresh flowers ;)
Martini-making station under my Audobon prints in the living room!
I would use it as a nightstand for now, but when I move I'd use it as a bar tray!
This is genius! I've been looking for a good night stand to use with our super tall bed and haven't been able to find anything. This would do the trick nicely!
i am loving these sneak peeks into the progress of your loft - it looks amazing!
i've had my eyes on this tray ever since your first post about it - love the creative way you incorporated it into your space.
i'd flank my couch with the tray and use it to display my favorite trinkets and photos!
61 comments in 30 minutes!! Woah :)
I would definitely keep this by my bed and adorn it with my typical pre-bed ritual items! A book, my glasses, some knitting, maybe some warm milk ( jk, nasty!! )
xoxo, your intern**
I love the way you styled this west elm tray! I would keep it in my room as well and store fun knick knacks and jewelry on it.
Oh how lovely! I would use this to display all my hand-blown glass pieces I have done - vases and bowls filled with flowers and candy treats! Love it!
I would love to use this as a nightstand as well. It would be perfect next to my bed too. I love the sleek look that could be made more unique with whatever you choose to put on top!
Ooooh, ooooh, oooh! I can imagine a thousand uses for this table! I could use it in a traditional way either as a night stand or side table for the couch. Or, I could use it for extra table space on the side of my desk, a cocktail server, a plant and magazine stand, an outdoor side table... the possibilities are endless!
I can't think of just one way to use this adorable tray at home, but I'd probably start placing it at my bedroom entrance, so I could leave all the jewelry I wear and putting it back on once I'm out the next day.
I would use it as a vanity table. I always wanted one and this tray would be great!
Have been coveting a bedside "table" like this ever since I saw a similar one in a friend's home. I just LOVE it!
I'm torn between using it to replace a barstool for a legitimate end table, copying your idea and turning it into a nightstand, and creating some additional bathroom storage with it. Perhaps I'll just rotate through all three uses!
I love these! I would use one beside my bed, my current nightstand is not cutting it...
We're moving to a bigger space, and have NO furniture to fill it! This would look great in our new entryway.
I think this would fantastic as a side table or a low version as a coffee table in my small sunroom, as the season is changing here in Ohio my friends and I gather here frequently as it is bright, breezy and has access to my backyard patio. Perfect to use for transporting cocktails, snacks, coffee or tea, probably display an old crystal decanter that was found in my grandmas attic with some nice etched rocks glasses!
What a great way to move puzzles, skeins of yarn or thread for needlework or miscellaneous hardware for home improvement projects from place to place. Would also make a nice TV tray.
Awesome table! I would definitely use it as a mini-bar. Fun times! :)
I will use it to serve meals and drinks throughout the unit for loved ones : )
I would put this right by my front door to collect mail, my handbag and my cell phone charger.
Loves it! Wants it!
I would pile it with terrariums. Love it!
I would love to use it as a bed side table! Currently don't have one and it is killing me and this would look lovely!
This would be amazing to serve snacks out on our loft's deck!!
I would love this in my new apartment!!
I would use this in my living room and keep it simple with a modern lamp and a few of my favorite vintage finds.
I am moving into my own apartment for the time ever and would use this as an end table to enhance the secondhand furniture I am using for my living room!
i love it as a night stand. i would probably use it as a side table. that's kind of the beauty of it though, a very versatile piece.
I'd love to use this tray as an extra for my dining area to put drinks or appetizers on.
So cute! I would use it as a plant stand out on the balcony of our apartment :)
That unicorn? AMAZING. Where did you get that?!
I would use definitely use it next to my bed in the sunlight so that my little plant mark could sit there as well as two ceramic dogs I have.... :)
xx
I would love to win this butler tray! I'd place it as a side table in my living room. It would be great to use the tray separately for entertaining too!
I would love this little table for some little cacti, books and jewelry in my room, so cute!
lovely! i'd use it in my living room. or at a party to place party favors.
I love how you have everything displayed! I would create a mini bar area using the tray table.
How would I NOT use this table? It's so versatile. It would come in handy at my Easter Sunday brunch for Bellinis on my porch :)
In my husbands rock and roll man-cave!
i'd use it as a shelve for my cooking books in my kitchen... ^_^
Such an awesome piece! I would use it as a side table next to my couch.
I'd use it as a little bar. pretty cute!
I have to have my bathroom counter completely bare, however, this would look great tucked into the corner to display some of my prettiest perfume bottles. I'd also get a cute bowl to throw some jewlry in, and perhaps a little green plant that does well in humidity. I can see it now. Thanks for the giveaway!
This would be a perfect bar cart/tray where I could display my lovlier bottles and glassware.
this is so cute! i would use it as a side table in my living room.
I've been looking for a simple yet sophisticated bar cart for my teeny apartment. This butler tray would be a perfect fit.
x
I'd use it as a bar cart in the living room!
ooh, I love!!! I would use it as a little mini bar in my teeny tiny apartment. My mini bar is currently housed on a lacquer tray set on a bookshelf next to our record player, this table would allow us to create a designated "bar area"! oh, I hope I win!! Thank you:)
Love this tray table! I can totally see this as my new night stand too or next to our couch as a side table. I go for anything white. Thanks Bri!
I'd use it in my entry way to collect keys and dog leashes. I've had my eye on this!
Ive just moved into my very first New York studio and it is so lovely but I have sooo many great ideas and spaces for cool things like this but not financially able to do it all at once! I'd live to use this in my hallway as a plant tray table or even a side table for my sofa(once I get one).
I would use it for my sewing supplies!
I think the question is, how wouldn't I use this tray? I think it would travel around my little apartment being useful in every room, but it's permanent home would be in my living room next to my coffee table. Cheers!
i love this tray table! i'd use it next to my couch where all my lovely books can sit.
I can think of several places I could use this in my apartment! It works well with many of the pieces I already own and could be used in both my bedroom and living room. I love just about everything from West Elm!
in our dining room, underneath letterpress prints/art displaying vintage jars and tea tins or a mini bar when entertaining! Oh and Friday happens to be my birthday too :)
please me!!!
Love this table!!! I would use it is my living room as an end table next to my couch! Love it!
I would use this tray table like you are, as my nightstand! and the drawing is on my birthday! yay!
what a great giveaway! i can see this as a little bar tray with lots of pretty liquor bottles and vintage glasses. but i do love the way you have it styled here. that unicorn is awesomeness!
-heylee
This is a piece of furniture that would actually fit in my studio apartment! I would use it by my futon as a "night-stand" - fingers crossed!
I would love to win this adorable stand! It would be just the piece I need for my bedroom!
I would use this to set my small record player on in the living room to listen to my 45 collection on. The player is currently precariously balancing on top of a medium sized amp, and I've yet to find a small/tall enough piece of furniture to fit the space until now!
I would use this as an end table in my living room. It would go perfectly with my modern sofas. Being a new homeowner (and therefore very broke!) this would be a great addition to my sparse space. Thanks!
I love everything about West Elm! They make such gorgeous products!! I would use it in my entry way for a vase of flowers and our key dish to sit on!
I would use it in my dressing room/office to display my accessories. it's so awesome!
I love West Elm and this is no different! I'd use it in my new living room for entertaining.
i'd use it in my office to hold specialty papers! so awesome!
Very clever use of a magnificent piece of art! I would use the West Elm Butler Tray as a Dining Room side table for displaying my Holy Bible.
Just moved into our new condo and it would look so perfect in our dining room as a liquor stand or as a side table in our living room. I love it!
Would definitely use it as a bedside table--lovin' the Smiths photo on yours!
Thanks for the opportunity to win!

Loves it! We try to look for multi-purpose pieces for our cozy townhouse so I'd use this for an everyday entryway table or as a side table by our sofa, but as a mini bar when we entertain.
love this. I would definitely use it as a side table in our living room and to help me house my newest fun projects! thanks bri.
that tray table is GORGEOUS. i would probably use it to display a new vintage camera i just bought! :)
my hamster cage has been hogging up the side table in my living room. i would move her to this table instead. :)
suzannabunny@gmail(dot)com
Definitely have to use the table in my bathroom to hold my mountain of jewelry and pretty perfume bottles!
I've had my eye on this butler tray & stand for months! Love! Love! West Elm. I'd use the tray as a mini bar/side buffet table in my dining room.

ooo!!! make-up tray, that way I can transport from room to restroom with ease... yayesh..
Oh HELLO beautiful! This would definitely be a nightstand or side table in my apartment! Love it! xoXo
Ohh my! Isn't this the cutest butler-tray-turned-nightstand I've ever seen! Well by golly, being able to redecorate my bedroom for the first time in my life this summer, I would stick that puppy right next to my bed to hold all my pretty things and books, so I can sigh and look at it right before I dream. :D
To all of you fabulous and incredibly talented artists whom I adore, PLEASE don’t balk at my idea. Ok, as a preschool teacher and a mom of a three year-old daughter, I am always trying to find a small art place for my daughter to craft, have tea parties, finger paint, spin art, marble paint, you name it! However, my husband, daughter and I live in an 800 sq ft apartment in a city and there is no space for her to create. I would really love to win this for her. Thanks for the contest!
Using it as a nightstand is a great option but I would totally use the Butler Tray as a small bar table. It would look so perfect in my small condo with a bunch of fun accessories.
I would use it as a side table in my living room. Boring, but so functional.
I'd love to use it as a reading table next to the comfy chair and ottoman.
Love this little table! I would use it in my entryway, to display my vintage typewriter and cards. =)
The tray would look awesome in our hollywood glam theater room. Would be well used for serving libations and popcorn!
What a great table! It would either go in my guest bedroom or I'd put it in my reading nook as a side table.

I would LOVE to use this as a little minibar in my itty bitty apartment! Love white lacquered things...
isimplylove.blogpot.com
We have the same bedspread! Our coffee table is leather and too low to set drinks and snacks so we would definitely use this in our teeny living room!
What a great giveaway ;)

after being married for two years and traveling around, my husband and i just moved into OUR place and finally unpacked all of our treasures!! one of the items on my "need list" is a nightstand and this one would be perfect! i love it! & i love designfest!! thanks!
This tray is a classic west elm item. I love the versatility of it... a bedside table, on a coffee table, a side table, and the list goes on! I would love to call it mine!
Aw US only? But I'm so close to the border I can practically see it!
Ack! Love it, and actually, have been wanting to use it as my bedside table as well!
Love it! I'm thinking bathroom?
My couch is end-table-less, so I'd be using it in the living room!
oooh, what a great giveaway!
my husband and i are on a serious grad-school-student-budget and are moving to a teeny loft - i'd love to use this is multiple ways:
-taken outside as little bar cart while bbq-ing with new neighbors
-to create entryway space next to front door
-bathroom table for perfumes/jewelry/etc
love love love it! would be perfect for my tiny little entry way!
this is beyond perfect! i would LOOOOOVE this in my living room!
I so need a nice modern night stand, I have a lot of vintage in my house...but am attempting to have more modern mixed in! This table is perfect. Side note, your new studio apt. is aaamazing!
I LOVE that you keep Moz at your bedside!
I would use this little table to as my bar!
Would love this nightstand!
I would use this next to my comfiest reading chair in my living room to set my favorite book and beverage on!
Sun Room! It would make a perfect side table, home to a little air plant collection nested in vintage brass candlesticks! ♥
No room for a bar cart in our apartment so I'd also be using this as a nightstand :) I love it
I have been loving West Elm's butler tray for a long time now. I would love one to put in my painting room. Perfect for hold glass jars full of paintbrushes and bowls full of paint tubes.
I'd love to win this nightstand.
I think I'd use it either as a plant stand or as a bar/booze tray type thing. It seems like it's sturdy enough for some hard liquor :)
Tres chic! It would make a great little alcohol bar tray. I'd put some bottles o' gin (hendrick's and st. germain), a vintage brandy decanter, and a couple cocktail glasses on it. Maybe I'd use the decanter to hold runuculuses (runuculi?) on occasion..just to spice things up. Just one way of hundreds to use such a practical tray!
blythehill@gmail.com :]
while I love the idea of using it as a nightstand - it would be perfect in my guest bathroom to display all my lotions & potions for guests! xo
Our small house needs this nifty table right behind the dining table, next to the kitchen.
I would use it as a side table in my tiny living room by my tiny couch!
Such a cute side table. I love trays and would use it for a multitude of purposes. I think it would travel all around the house.
I would use it as a side table in my living room! It would be perfect for serving drinks for guest, as well as adding a fun touch without taking up a lot of visual space in this small room. I love that it can be moved easily, too....it would probably end up making the rounds in my house! I can see it set up in my dining room our out on our deck (outside only temporarily) when we have parties!
Love it! I have the smallest home/cottage in santa cruz, california in the shape of a triangle. I don't have room for a coffee table and my space is lacking a lovely little piece, just like this! It would be delicious!
This could totally replace my crappy nightstand (which I totally hate)...or maybe in the guest room.
This would be a perfect nightstand table for our new place once I get married this summer! :)
I love the idea of using it to hold extra towels, a scented candle and assorted perfumes in the bathroom!
Spring is FINALLY here is Alaska and the table is the perfect place for a fresh cut pick of flowers and a glass of lemonade to sit on. Love it!
Oh, I would definitely place this sleek tray stand at the end of my kitchen island as a decorative way to display my favorite alcohol bottles! I have beautiful decorative bottles of tequila and whiskey that currently line my kitchen counter, and they would look lovely on this piece. It would be sleek, useful, and classy. What a wonderful giveaway!
Very chic! This would be the perfect side table next to my couches- don't have room for anything bigger in our teeny in-law. A definitely upgrade from using the floor!
My foyer is a fabulous shade of "razzle dazzle" so this would be a perfect pop against the pink background.
Love the West Elm's tray stand! It would go perfectly in the deserted corner of my bedroom. Perfect place for flowers and pretty books.
I was *just* on the West Elm site lusting over this tray this morning. I've been wanting it for months to make a little mini bar in our dining room. Love it!
Adorable. I'm always in desperate need of a place to land all of my keys, earrings, mail etc. I live in a city house...So, I would tuck this (ever-functional-ever-cute-tray) right inside of my front door. It would allow my husband be "lazy" and yet organized all in one shot! A Win,Win!
This would go perfectly in our small sun room off our kitchen as a stand for our little indoor plants and flowers! Love it!
-prettypenny4306.blogspot.com
Oohh! I would use in my room as a place to put my most recent Vogue, Architectural Digest, and Elle Decor, and maybe a vintage book or two! I have a new puppy who gets into anything too low to the ground, so this would be perfect.
This versatile piece would make an excellent serving tray for entertaining, storing booze (a la bar cart) or eating in front of the TV!
PS - love your bedding!
what a great give away!! i would put the tray in my fiance's 'man cave' and use it as a bar! thanks for sharing :)
oooh! that is lovely... I would put it in my office, use it to dress up the bills!
I'd love to buy some old classic liquor bottles and finally set up that sophisticated bar area my kitchen has been missing!
lovely. perfect side table next to our couch, we don't have one and stuff ends up on the floor.
This table is GORGEOUS!! I love how you displayed all your cute decor on there! I happen to be obsessed with unicorns too and love that you have a gold one!! I would definitely use this as a nightstand beside my bed!!!
This giveaway Roooocks!!!
i'd love to use this in my dining room as "mini bar."
I would use this as a nightstand/bedside table. It would be perfect in my guest bedroom. It's a small room and I don't have space for big bulky furniture. I also love the color as I am looking for lighter colored accents in the room.
How cute. I'm getting married in 2 months and we definitely need furniture to fill the house with. This would fit perfectly in our new living room!
I LOVE it. I would use the stand for housing my squirrel lamp or maybe even my herb collection.
I love this! I would use it for side table in the living room!
Oh, I love that tray! It would be perfect for the overflow of plants and herbs in my windowsill.
I would use this terrific tray table to house my jewels, gems and baubles!
