This is a rectangular rosewood tea tray or cha pan (茶盘), this is used to place your cups, teapots and other teaware on when brewing gongfucha style. Holes in the lid allow water poured over the teapot or rinses of tea to pool in the plastic drawer that slots in below the tray that can be easily pulled out and emptied after use.

If you’d like more information on the wood I can look into it.
