One solid walnut-finish tray with seven sections, so the nuts, fruit, candy, veggies and dip each stay in their own place all night. Carry the whole spread out at once, set it on the coffee table, and sit down with everyone.

18" × 11.5", big enough to feed the whole couch
One solid piece: nothing to lose, nothing to reassemble
Warm walnut finish that looks like decor between gatherings
Seven snacks. One tray. One trip from the kitchen.
