Herman Miller Select 2011 Edition

Product Story

We've always loved the sleek elegance of George Nelson's tray table. To update the look of the mid-century original, done in walnut or teak veneer, we used white ash, finished with a process that arrests the wood in its natural, freshly cut state. The resulting color is a creamy white that resists yellowing over time.

A brushed stainless steel column and black umber steel legs support the tray top. The top is also available as a tray only. The table stands 17 inches high; the tray top is 18 inches in diameter. As with the original, the 2011 Select edition is presented in a special take-home container about the size of a pizza box.

The inlay design juxtaposes walnut and santos palisander veneers in each diamond shape. Five-ply veneer construction, with inner plies of bay poplar, ensures the top remains stable through changes in humidity and years of use.

Easy Assembly

Assembling the Tray Table is simple. Start by interlocking the two leg sections and the column. Next, insert the tension rod through the bottom of the column, hooking the three interlocking sections together. Finally, turn the threaded end of the tension rod into the "spider" attached to the underside of the top.
