The tray is made of cardboard with gloss paper wrapped on the front and edges. The fur is hot glued to thin cardboard. These two halves are then glued together with hot glue. The part of the tray that we had was about 70% separated from the fur part, and the tray was deformed and wavy. You could tell by the glue that most of the two halves had never touched - the glue hadn't been flattened - it was still in thick streams and therefore dried out. We have a lot of stuff lol. A lot of. granddaughter loves things. But this piece? Worst LOL branded item we have ever seen.
