I received this tray carefully wrapped in very good condition.  This tray looks exactly as shown and looks perfect on my new transitional bedroom dresser.  Also, the round golden feet have small brown rubber pads on them so that it will NOT scratch whatever you place it on.  Actually, I would not call it "ornate" but it does have a  golden batik-like finish which adds character and beauty to the piece.  I will be using it to place my perfume bottles on.
