Wooden Peripheral Desk Trays

The Grovemade Walnut Trackpad Tray Hides Items Beneath the Device

— June 13, 2016 — Tech
Traditional desk trays are great for organizing papers and other office essentials, but the Grovemade Walnut Trackpad Tray is a different kind of design. Capable of keeping an Apple Magic Trackpad perfectly in place, the Grovemade Walnut Trackpad Tray enables the peripheral to be flipped up to reveal storage underneath. This makes the perfect spot for storing additional batteries for the device and even other small office essentials like paperclips or USB dongles.

The Grovemade Walnut Trackpad Desk Tray is, as the name denotes, crafted from solid walnut and reinforced by aluminum for a sturdy construction. Each unit has been hand-sanded and treated with vegetable-based oils for a smooth, uniform finish that matches the style aesthetic of Apple products in a beautiful way.
