Today we are making a review for the tuff tray and stand we brought from eBay.
We have the black stand witch is standard and a pink tuff spot tray.
you can find the trays using this direct link.

The trays come in a load of colours but Edwin picked out the pink tray. For some reason the black trays are a little cheaper then the coloured trays.
We ended up paying £45 for the tray and stand together but the prices have come down since we brought ours.
Delivery on the tray and stand was very good. Fast delivery and arrived in two boxes. One large box for the tray and a smaller box with the Stand flat packed inside.
We used a foil blanket and some tape here to make a cheap shiny tuff tray.
The sand is adjustable it has three settings. Low/mid/high we normally use the lower setting to make it easier for Edwin to reach.
we used the highest setting here to build our tuff spot tray dark den. Witch was just a black out curtain over the stand with the tray placed on top.
The tuff they its self is very large. That would be something to think about before buying. The sand you can take fully apart but we just unhook one place and fold it up.
We never got any instructions on how to put the stand together. But I kind of just worked it out seemed impossible at first. Then I started to see the right shape and kept going until it was finished the stand should be the same shape as the tray.
to fold the Stand down just unpop one of the pop studs and unhook the poles. This just brakes the loop. Once you have unhooked two parts unpop the rest of the popper studs holding it in place. This time you don’t have to unhook the pools just unpop so you can then start to fold the poles in to make it flatter and easier to store.
Once you have the stand up all you have to do is place the tray on top and your done. It can be really hard work getting the stand up and down so if you can leave it up somewhere it’s much easier.
i hope this has been helpful to anyone wondering about the eBay trays as Ino when I brought the price compeard to educational websites seems too good to be true. I would recommend it Edwin loves it but we don’t use the stand as much as the tray on the floor.
for people wanting sizes for use with wheel chairs I’ve taken two photos not very good ones but the stand is 16″ across in the gaps and 24″ on the highest setting.
Across 16″.
At the top setting it’s 24″ tall.
