An ink-jet recording apparatus includes: a media tray; a roller pair capable of selectively conveying the media tray and a sheet; a recording device disposed downstream of the roller pair in a conveying direction and configured to eject ink droplets; lower contact portions disposed downstream of the roller pair in the conveying direction; and an upper contact portion configured to cooperate with the lower contact portions to corrugate the sheet. The media tray has a downstream edge portion in a tray inserting direction in which the media tray is inserted. The downstream edge portion has at least one inclined portion inclining obliquely upward toward an upstream side in the tray inserting direction. The at least one inclined portion contacts the upper contact portion to move the upper contact portion upward.
