When you're shopping for commercial hospitality furniture, a project can call for either a complete booth or a small tray. The real decision is whether you need to add seating or add an accessory. Both items can belong in a commercial setting, but they solve different layout problems.
Quick Verdict
If the space needs complete four-person seating, the Plymold Contour booth is the item that brings a full dining booth to the room. If the room already has seats and simply needs a tray, the Rubbermaid Commercial seating tray is a smaller, new option. Match the piece to the role it will play in your floor plan. Choosing the wrong one means either adding a tray when you needed seats or adding seats when you only needed a tray.

Where Each Wins
The Plymold Contour booth wins when you need booth seating in a dining area. This is the product that actually provides seats for a group. It is the seating solution you build a dining nook around.
The Rubbermaid Commercial seating tray wins when you need a tray that supports an existing seating layout. It does not add seating, but it fits into a layout that already has chairs or benches and needs an extra tray for practical use.
Product Notes
Plymold Contour Booth
This used booth is the larger, more complete purchase. It comes with a laminate surface, a 34-inch booth height, a 61-inch booth length, and a plain back style. Its real strength is offering a full seating arrangement rather than serving as a small accessory. Choose it when you need a booth that can anchor a dining area. The main limitation is that it is a used piece, and the description notes possible surface scratches, scuffs, and minor cosmetic wear from everyday use. That means the booth may show some wear even though it is described as fully functional. If your priority is a complete booth configuration, this laminate booth gives you the structure to work with. This is the item to plan a seating area around.
Rubbermaid Commercial Seating Tray
If your project only needs a tray to complement existing seating, this new gray plastic tray is a compact choice. It has a gray plastic build and a US origin. Its limitation is its scope: it is a tray, not a seat, so it can't replace a booth or chair. It works best as a practical extra in a commercial hospitality space that already has its main seating in place. Because it's new, it doesn't carry the used-condition considerations that come with a pre-owned booth. If you need a simple tray rather than a seating unit, this fits that narrow role. It's a fill-in piece, not a centerpiece.
Final Choice by Use Case
- Choose the Plymold Contour booth when you need a complete booth seating configuration and are comfortable with a used commercial piece.
- Choose the Rubbermaid Commercial seating tray when your main seating is already in place and you just need a compact gray tray to finish the setup.
