Aldi’s $15 Acacia Serving Tray is Strikingly Similar to Styles Sold at West Elm and Sur La Table 3x the Price

If you've checked out the stylish wood serving trays at retailers like West Elm and Sur La Table, then you know they can run anywhere from $45 on the low end to well over $100. Dropping that much cash on a tray can feel hard to justify. That's why Aldi's new Crofton 18-inch Acacia Wooden Serving Tray is such a smart pickup. It's made from the same wood, has a similar look, and does the same job at a fraction of the price—$14.99 to be exact. 

It's Game Ready

This tray is solid, and at 18-inches across, it's got plenty of real estate to load up with appetizers for the big game, or fill it with sliders, wings, or cocktails at your next tailgate. It's not one of those dainty trays that look nice, but barely hold cheese and crackers. This one is designed to get used. And with football season just around the corner, you can rest assured this kitchen purchase won't simply sit and gather dust on a pantry shelf.

Made To Last

Made from acacia wood, it has that natural grainy, expensive look you'd expect from a specialty kitchen stores. Another win is the fact that acacia is known for its durability, and believe or not, this wooden tray is actually dishwasher safe. That's a rare feature in wood serveware and huge win for anyone who doesn't want baby their gear. When the party's over, cleanup's as easy as tossing it in with the dirty plates.

Don't Wait

No matter what you choose to use the tray for, you won't regret spending the extra $14.99 to bring it home. But you may regret not jumping on it quickly enough if you miss out. The Acacia Wooden Serving Tray is an Aldi Find—which means it's only here for a limited time. Once it's gone, it's gone.
