Comments about Lillian Vernon Handcrafted Metal Boot Trays:

I bought 2, one for my foyer and the other for the back entrance. My house is very elegant and the wood floors are beautiful and I want to keep them that way. My shoe trays look beautiful and they encourage guests to take their shoes off without my asking.

I bought both patterns and love them both. Am buying a third as a gift.

I use it to place wet boots/shoes after rain or snow. I liked the size as it accommodates more than one pair of shoes. It WAS attractive until I started using it. Now it smells of rust & is covered with rust

Comments about Lillian Vernon Handcrafted Metal Boot Trays:

Although the design of this boot tray is a welcome addition to any foyer or interior space, the interior actually rusted after the first use. After cleaning it thoroughly, I decided to outlay $10.00 for a long rubber mat to place inside. Unfortunately, any water that happens to drip along the sides also causes rust. My recommendation is to stick to the less expensive, albeit less stylish, plastic version.

We love this tray! We don't use it with wet footwear at all, so we haven't had problems with rusting or needing a liner. However it is very durable without being too heavy. It is a very pretty tray and I have had many compliments on it. I hung a pretty caramel colored wood coat rack above it and it has helped to keep my family of four organized. Great product for the price!

I was surprised by comments about this being 'flimsy' or having rust. After over a year of heavy use (New Hampshire weather!), I have no rust at all (I have the pewter finish). It's good quality for the price. Of course you need to wipe it out once in a while, especially if you throw your snow covered boots in there. The fact that it really DOES hold water is the benefit - all that melted snow doesn't end up in your entry! It does get some scratches on the bottom due to the grit your shoes bring in, but that is to be expected. I doesn't bother the appearance a bit.

I would think this was made for wet boots. Well if you put wet boots in it the bottom rusts. Why wasn't it made with a liner! Doesn't make sense to me!

Comments about Lillian Vernon Handcrafted Metal Boot Trays:

I used this product at the front door so all the winter slush and snow would be contained, and not all over the floor. Works great! Everyone uses it. Cons..if t his is your intention find a liner for the bottom; otherwise the sitting salt and water from boots and shoes, rusts and scratches the bottom. Looks unattractive.

It discretely sits by the door leading from the garage to the kitchen, but large enough to hold all my family's shoes. I was surprised to read the review that stated it was flimsy. I have found it to be very durable.

easy to pick up and clean good for snow or mud

Comments about Lillian Vernon Handcrafted Metal Boot Trays:

Very flimsy and not at all what I expected. I thought it would be heavier.

Beautiful item. I needed to purchase a clear, plastic liner to protect the copper finish.
