We love this table but I would never put it in our main living area space.  The top of this table is definitely fake wood looking and is not super durable.  If I were using this in a main living room, then I would be putting my own distressed pine top on it to cover up the top that comes on this table.

We are using this in a recently remodeled basement that has an industrial feel to it and this table is perfect in that area.  We love that it is on wheels and easily moved where we want it.  The colors are perfect with all brown tones and no red tones in it.  

I don't know why this is called a "tray top".  I would expect a tray top to have an edge to it like a tray but maybe I don't know the proper definition of "tray top".  This has a flat tabletop surface.
