2 Tray Unit with Shelves & Clear Trays

The 2 Tray Unit with Shelves & Clear Trays combines visible tray storage with open shelving, giving classroom and nursery resources a defined place between activities. Two clear Gratnell cubby trays allow adults and children to see the contents without opening several containers, while the shelves provide a separate area for books, puzzles or other suitably sized materials. The mix is useful when some resources need containing and others are easier to access on an open shelf.

At 860 mm wide, 360 mm deep and 442 mm high, this is a low storage unit that can be planned into a reading area, creative corner or everyday resource zone. Its height and shallow depth help buyers judge where it will fit before ordering. Choose the Maple or Grey finish offered in the product options to suit the surrounding furniture; both versions include the two clear trays.

Children can take part in selecting a tray, carrying appropriate resources to an activity and returning them afterwards with adult guidance. Transparent sides make it easier to notice whether the expected contents are present. An adult might keep a small construction collection in one tray and matching-game resources in the other, changing the contents when the class topic changes. The shelves can hold materials that are better presented without a tray.

The unit belongs to the Solway storage range and can stand independently or connect to compatible units using the supplied connecting bolt. This gives settings a way to create a longer storage arrangement without treating every piece as an isolated item. Adults should plan the layout, access routes and connections, then position the furniture according to the assembly instructions.

Made from covered MDF in 8 mm and 15 mm thicknesses, the unit has an ISO 22196-certified antibacterial surface. Routine cleaning remains necessary. Glide feet are included, and the unit arrives flat-packed for adult assembly. The supplied items are the storage unit, two clear cubby trays and its assembly components; books, toys and other resources used to illustrate storage ideas are not included.

Visible Storage and Open Shelves

Use the clear trays for collections of smaller resources and the open shelving for books or boxed activities. Keeping related materials together gives staff a straightforward way to prepare sessions and check what needs returning at tidy-up time.

Supporting Everyday Routines

Introduce one storage location at a time and show children where suitable resources belong. A child can describe what is in a tray, request a resource and return it after play. Adults remain responsible for choosing accessible contents and avoiding overloading.
