Rectangular Leather Tray with Stirrups

The tray overall looks lovely and was very well packed, with plenty of bubble wrap and wide packing tape. Unfortunately, when I unpacked it, a small piece of the tape came into contact with the tray and actually lifted off some of the dark brown colour, leaving a noticeable light brown mark right on the front. This was very disappointing, particularly as the tray was purchased as a gift and I didn’t have time to return it and wait for a replacement. It also made me question the quality and durability of the finish, as it appears to be a fairly thin dark brown coating. As I specifically purchased this as a bar tray, I’m now concerned about how well the surface will hold up with regular use, particularly with drinks, bottles and decanters sitting on it. It’s a lovely-looking tray, but unfortunately the quality of the finish was disappointing.
