The silver band on the glass bowl simply explodes as it sits beside the trays & those marvelous chrome corners… it’s quite a STUNNING set up!!! The trays would be an exceptional way to present snacks or beverages to your guests, or a table or bar hosting a lovely set of vintage glasses or barware OR set them in their nesting position and use on a console, sofa, or coffee table as the perfect spot to place your coasters, tv remote, or books. The bowl is perfect sized to pour in that freshly popped bag of popcorn, chips, or snack of your choice into although you will want to hand wash as it is definitely not dishwasher safe.
