This is very nice looking tray, much more attractive than a snack table. However the decoration under the tray, while quite nice, prevents it from sliding over a lot of the surfaces such as your knees, arm of your chair or whatever. Easy to put together, my son-in-law did it in several minutes. However the legs are a little uneven which was easily fixed by putting one of those little pads you put on the legs of furniture to protect your floor. I use this every day while in my recliner and enjoy it. Would definitely recommend.
