We are using the Dansk trays on our foot stool which also functions as a coffee table. Two trays fit well and look custom made for this use. The clean, natural wood blends with the comtemporary style of our home.

I got this tray for a friend who loves clean danish design and serving tea. I would rate it five stars, but the dark stain on one side is smudged onto the lighter wood and it throws off the clean design of the piece. Otherwise, it is a well made, sturdy, smooth and beautiful tray, well worth the price. It showed up extremely fast. Also, on my screen, the darker stain color looks a lot warmer than it is in real life. It actually is more of a ashy brown, but it matches well with the blonde wood so it's still fine.

The design idea for this was fine but the execution is a horror - 2nd rate workmanship with 3rd rate materials - it has all the appearances of an illegal copy while apparently being a real "Dansk".
But I shudder that they cheapen their name so by putting such garbage on the market.
The slats making up the main field have miss-matchek grain [some of a completly different character] and the finish is muddy and uneven. tThe 2 'handel ends' are simmilarly mismatched and appear just a cheap dyed lightweight wood.
