I wasn't sure how I felt about this tray at first; I had thought it was solid plastic but it has a nice coating and gentle cushion. I placed them on all of our group room tables and Love the color. It is a little more of softer bold orange (carrot orange) not bright orange as shown in pictures.  Has a masculine feel. I love them now and very happy with this purchase. Many people have given positive comments about them and enjoy the color; stimulating! The chairs that are in the picture that I submitted are bright orange!
