I love using ottoman trays to stack books and objects on. These very graphic Lucite trays from Iomoi are fantastic and come in a range of designs and colours. They are very expensive I must admit at US$650.00 but they also come in a more affordable smaller size which is great for placing on a desk as an in-tray or on a small side table with books and 'things' placed on top. For my Aussie readers Iomoi is one of the fantastic American companies who does ship to Australia!
