The Good Directions 205VB is a large-format utility tray cold-pressed from solid 22-gauge copper. This choice of material moves away from disposable plastics, providing a 34" x 14" footprint that easily accommodates three pairs of large boots. The tray features a 2-inch deep reservoir, offering significant capacity for melting snow and mud. The double-circle pattern embossed into the base adds structural rigidity, helping the tray maintain its shape and preventing the popping sounds often associated with thinner metal trays.
Copper is naturally resistant to the growth of mold and odors, which helps manage damp footwear environments. Because this is solid copper rather than a plated finish, the tray will develop a natural patina over time, changing from a bright metallic to deeper shades of brown or green. This oxidation process is a sign of material integrity and does not affect the waterproof nature of the tray.
Functional Maintenance
- The solid metal construction provides a long-term solution for high-traffic entryways.
- The rolled-rim edge finish adds structural strength and contains liquids securely.
- To protect polished stone or hardwood floors from the smooth metal underside, users may find it helpful to apply adhesive felt pads or a thin mesh liner.
Summary: A premium, heavy-duty architectural tray that offers high liquid capacity and natural odor resistance through its solid copper construction.
For a similar footprint but in a flexible, low-maintenance synthetic material, the Ottomanson all-season mat is a practical alternative.
