The trays is what I love the most! They are of this beatiful pecan color that go great with my decor. They serve as refreshments-serving trays at family gatherings as well as an added decor piece for my coffee table center piece. Also my hubby likes to rest his feet up on it :( I dont let him! It is my nice ottoman man!! It does holds all my blankets throws now that it is summer.  Everyone loves this piece in my living room.
