It looks like the center area of the tray isn't level but rather has many ridges and valley's. Is that true or is it a flat surface?

I gave this as a gift, but I do believe it has little ridges across the center area. They are very small, however, and do not affect placing items evenly on the tray. The friend I gave it to even serves drinks on it.

The tray does have many ridges. Not a smooth surface. I put a placement in it when serving drinks. Bowls stay put just fine.

Yes it has ridges. Its has many small strips of wood with semi rounded edges put together to form the top surface area of the tray.

It's basically a flat surface (even though it's made with bamboo). You can safely place a glass on it.

It is flat, but it is not smooth. The bottom is made up of what is meant to look like individual sticks pressed together. The "ridges and valleys" are about an eighth of an inch. We set glasses on it all the time with no risk of spill. We are very pleased with the quality of ours for the price.

Yes, the bottom inside the tray is not completely flat but made from individual bamboo pieces glued side by side. That being said, they are not round either and do create a fairly flat surface with only very slight ridges between each bamboo strip. The surface is not bumpy in a way that would cause something such as a stemmed wine glass to tip over or anything like that. I feel that the individual bamboo pieces which are arranged in a very attractive pattern in the bottom of this tray only enhance it's overall look. It is a very nicely made piece, very solid and sturdy, not at all flimsy. There are no gaps between the bottom pieces either. I hope this helps.

it is a flat surface, you can use it for wine glasses or drinks with no spilling. There are ridges but they are close together making the surface level.

Ridges and valleys but very small and does not interfere with surface being level

Robert, the bottom is slightly rounded. Not completely flat or rounded. The bottom section of my pot got pitted and discolored from just regular use. I personally don't care for this item but I don't use it that often so I haven't replaced it and most likely will continue to use it.

The tray is flat on the bottom, the discs are silicone & it could absolutely used as a serving tray. Items placed on the discs do not move. I love the ones I have. A good purchase.

No, there is no flat solid surface on the bottom of the drawer. The cups do not sit at a tilt on the single rod because the side rods come in slightly and hold the k-cups perfectly straight. Hope this helps.

I don't know. I have never had any problem with the tray so I haven't looked for one.

Brad, yes it is smooth and flat on top. I made a shallow tray for the top of mine that I lift off when I need to access whats stored in the top compartment. The top is substantial enough to support any load I've had on it. Bob N

Not completely flat. It has low ridges, I presume for drainage. They are barely visible in the picture on the site.

It has what I would call a flat bottom with very shallow ridges...not even ridges, just texture

The bottom is flat. There's a round slight indentation in the center and the edges are rounded where the bottom meets the sides.

There are some low ridges in it, but other than that it is flat. You can see them if you zoom in on the product image.

The flat surface itself is not angled, however there are two pads underneath that are uneven in size. The larger one is in the back and the smaller one is in the front, which makes it sit flat on your lap when you are in a seated position. I like to recline sometimes, so I just flip it around when I do that to keep the surface more level.

I think the question is do they have the raised center hub (kind of a collar an inch high) with the slots in it? There are some of they trays that come without that and are kind of floppy in the middle. The FD-75A comes with the weak, cheapo trays.

Flat'ish. There's still a little bit of a rise, so it's not completely flat on the tabletop. I think, given time, it might flatten out completely.

Yes the bottom is flat. Easy to scrape. The sides have indentations but I don't have any trouble with those either.

Hi Diana. Looks like everyone else has it covered. The heads of the spatulas are smooth with no ridges. Thanks! Matt - StarPack Team

It's not entirely flat, but if I have to choose between the two, it is flat with rounded edges. It doesn't seem to be a problem though, it fits my hand nicely.

There is a slightly rippled texture to the surface - only noticeable when looking closely at it - and the combination of this texture and the materials used to make the surface make for a great non-stick surface. We've used ours regularly for a couple of months now and have yet to use any type of Pam or other product. Food glides right off.
