This tray is sturdier than I imagined it might be. The colors are somewhat muted...I like the subtlety. It isn't as small as I thought, based on other reviews. All in all, a great product. I'd recommend it to a friend. In fact, I purchased it for a friend who has an Oriental based sitting room. It will be perfect on the end table with her bonsai.

If it was just bigger it would be perfect

I was looking for a rather large tray for use as a coffee table top to the ottoman on my new sofa set, and this would have been perfect, except for the size. Still, I thought it was nice, so I bought it, and its very beautiful.... I am using it as a small table top on the sectional when needed.......Please make a large version of this................... lets say, 18x 27???

Not a good value

Much smaller than it looked in photo. The bottom is simply wood laminate and is already peeling up at one corner. I've only had it a couple of weeks. I am disappointed in the workmanship. Definitely not worth the cost!

This tray is so beautiful. It is the second one that I have ordered. It goes beautifully in my black and red living room. It looks very exotic.

This is a beautiful tray although very small. I wish it was bigger.
