Saw this thread last week when looking for a valet tray design.  Thought "man that's unique and cool"....

 

Apparently somebody else did as well!  Somebody on Alibaba copied it!

I guess I shouldn't be surprised... 

I think I've got more money in thread and burnishing compound on my tray than they are charging for theirs, lol.

I guess there is one or 2 things here to consider.Did they get the idea from looking on LW ? I hope they did as that may mean they are reading this now and along with their deceptive advertising regarding the " Cow leather/Italian veg tant cow hides " the construction change with the spring clips means they have elected to use will unclip at a very annoying rate. Aesthetically I think it looks better but in service it will lose appeal very quickly. I would promote the original as REAL + ORIGINAL along with all of the better points. Shame on Tantat Piece company for not offering some credit to @andrewsejlv
