What is a whiteboard marker tray and should my whiteboard have one?

A whiteboard marker tray is a ledge that runs along the bottom edge of the whiteboard frame to hold markers, erasers, and other accessories while not in use. It prevents markers from rolling off onto the floor and keeps them accessible for the next user. Most commercial whiteboards include a tray; look for a deep-lipped tray on high-use boards to reduce spills. OfficeFurniture2go.com's commercial whiteboards include marker trays — call 1-800-460-0858.
