I bought these trays as others were toosmall, light in color and poorly made.  This setlooked sturdy, in a rich brown color, sized larger and included the stand.  [...]...I immediately wrapped it as a Christmas gift for my husband.  He was so excited and the whole family uses them daily for eating, beverages, and laptops. I assembled the stand myself veryeasily. We love this set...buy it now; don't hesitate.
