Just lovely
Size: 8.5" x 5.8" x 1.9", Color: Orange
Purchased this several months ago and liked it, but I had received so many complements on this tray since then I had to submit this review. The tray is sturdy and put together well, and the size is exactly what was given before purchase.

A Stylish and Functional Addition to My Décor!
Color: Gray 1 Pack, Size: 8" x 8" x 1.8", Color: Gray 1 Pack, Size: 8" x 8" x 1.8"
I recently purchased the ZHEM Valet Tray for Men in Dark Gray, and I couldn't be happier with this product. It's become an indispensable part of my daily routine and home décor. The design and craftsmanship of this tray are outstanding. The dark gray color is elegant and complements my furniture perfectly. It's not just a valet tray; it's also a decorative piece that adds a touch of sophistication to my nightstand and dresser. The size (8x8x1.75 inches) is ideal for holding my daily essentials like my watch, perfume, keys, and even napkins. I appreciate the versatility - it serves as a decorative piece, an organizer, and a functional tray all in one! The quality is top-notch, and it feels sturdy and well-made. It's also easy to clean, which is a big plus. Overall, the Tray has exceeded my expectations. It's a stylish and functional addition to my décor, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a versatile and attractive tray for their home. Five stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Super cute landing space for keys
Color: White 1 Pack, Size: 8" x 8" x 1.8", Color: White 1 Pack, Size: 8" x 8" x 1.8"
I always have trouble finding my keys and so it’s been very helpful to have a dedicated spot to easily throw them in when I get home. At first I thought it would be too big but it’s the perfect size for two wallets and keys, and it’s good quality albeit a bit expensive. The gold isn’t too shiny either, it’s a nice touch and it really reduces the look of clutter on your surfaces and helps it look more organized. It also doesn’t slip around.
