This Mahalo Palette is also handy for solo use! The surface has a textured finish to prevent slippage. However, it is not fully slip-proof. These can be used as dining trays by each family member to create a gorgeous looking dining table! Very handy as you can simply bring everything to the sink as is. You can also easily carry large dishes! Also, if you put it on a basket as a lid, you can use it as a mini table when outdoors etc. When eating a lunch box outdoors, placing it on the ground can be a hygiene concern...But with this item's slight height, you will be able to eat with peace of mind. Also, you can stack baskets on top of each other by placing lids on them, and transform them into storage boxes. In a wide variety of colors you can enjoy coordinating with your rooms at home.
