I love the extra room on the tray. My husband and I have started eating in the den on the tray tables and there is plenty of space to put everything on the tray without worry of anything falling off. The extra height is nice also. We can comfortably fit our legs under the tray table. The only reason I gave them a 4 is because they aren’t real wood but I knew that before I purchased them.  These are the best trays I’ve ever owned and would recommend them to anyone!
