I love these tables! They replaced my old, rickety tv trays; they are so much larger, sturdier, and better looking. If I choose to eat a meal while watching tv, one of these trays can easily accommodate my dinner plate, glass, & the tv remote!! with room to spare. I really like how heavy duty they are. I don't worry about them tipping over & the fact they're solid wood reassures me they should last for many years. They are beautifully finished-a rather dark brown. The trays were each one piece, so no assembly required. The stand was very easy to put together--no tools necessary & the instructions were easy to follow.
