I bought one tray in the blue color and another one in the gray to sit on my new dark grey sectional and ottoman. I wasn't sure I was going to like having an ottoman instead of a traditional coffee table, so I bought these to have somewhere to put drinks or other things down when sitting on the couch. They have worked out really well and they look great! The colors are exactly as depicted. The matte finish is really nice and lends a little sophistication to the look. The finish is smooth and without flaws. They are very sturdy, solid and could hold significant weight if you were using them to carry something. For my purposes, the tray is the perfect size and allows room to put food or drink down, to hold a candle, remotes, magazines or whatever you like to keep on the coffee table. I have been very happy with the trays.
