These trays were purchased as a replacement for a set of four wooden ones with a stand that we continually had to tighten to keep from falling apart. They were quite old, however, and had run their course. Having a stand was handy, but these two new ones are compact enough when folded to fit easily into a small coat closet. They are lightweight which is a plus and the white top is easy to clean. Excellent quality for price paid. I would purchase again.
