The device of this invention is a collapsible, tray holder having an upper tray cradle, universally adapted to hold a variety of different types of trays, an upright support, and a base. The cradle portion includes a rear stabilizer and a spring loaded front clasp designed to receive and hold trays of different sizes and shapes. The base and the cradle are connected to the upright with locking hinge connections forming, when assembled, a substantially C-shaped support.
