This tray is has a wooden base and is tiled in vitreous glass tile. The glass tiles are grouted and sealed to protect the tray from staining. The wooden frame around the tray is painted in high gloss white. With summer being a perfect time to swim at the pool, the fish theme was used to accentuate the beach mood at my backyard pool. My favorite beverage by the pool is tea on crushed ice---all the more reason to seal the tiles and grout with a protective coating to prevent staining. It's a wonderful way to transport beverages from the house to the pool for family and friends.
