Great!

rkymtnhiker from Colorado, Nov 18, 2009

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

jeannepk from Suffolk County, NY, Aug 26, 2009

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

stlouismetro from St Louis, Sep 6, 2008

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!

Beautiful tray

quilter51 from Connecticut, May 19, 2008

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.
