Ordered this tray for my husband to keep him organized my his recliner. The tray is very sturdy. Husband likes & that is all that matters! They tray obviously can be used for other purposes but this is what I needed exactly! The tray I received is more ivory (like vanilla ice cream). I do wish it was more of the white washed look as it appears but it is still a very nice sturdy presentable piece to have out in the home.
