I have a lovely large, square tray on my dining room table that is made of old barn wood. I had previously put a shiny silver round tray in the middle of it, but always thought it was too upscale to be placed on the wooden tray. When I saw the rustic nature of this tray, I quickly ordered it - and it looks terrific on the wooden tray. It will also come in handy for serving when they family comes a calling!!
