The tray will be used to hold drink bottles when we entertain, or for cleanup after a party.  You should know that the sides are vinyl.  I overlooked that when I ordered the tray.  I originally purchased this would tray to make a turkey out of fruit for Thanksgiving because of its perfect size.  I woulldn't use it for food because of the vinyl and the chance of the inability to properly clean the tray.  If you are looking for a serving tray - like it was meant to be - it will be great.
