I absolutely love this tray. For one, it's gorgeous. Secondly, it's shaped somewhat like the brim of a cowboy hat, turned up a bit on the edges, so on a short hookah shaft, it doesn't get in the way of the hose and purge valve. I'd never have thought about that! I use it on my Bambino and it's as if it were made for it. Maybe it was? It has this lip on it that rests absolutely perfectly on that beautiful cloisonne shaft of the Bambino. It was a little bit extra to get it, but I'm glad I did. It's just lovely and wide enough that I'm no longer getting coals falling on my table of floor.
