The tray itself is pretty wood. It’s not a heavy wood though. My biggest issue with Wayfair is their return policy. I decided I needed a bigger tray, and to exchange or return the one I purchased, the cheapest option to ship it back was almost $10.00. I paid $44.00 for the tray and was willing to put that money towards a bigger tray in exchange for the smaller one. Now I’ve decided to keep it as a gift but only because I don’t think it’s worth essentially paying $55.00 for the tray just to return it.
