One of the Best Books of the YearThe San Francisco Chronicle * The Philadelphia Inquirer * Vox * The Globe and Mail (Toronto) From Tim Wu, author of the award-winning The Master Switch ( a New Yorker and Fortune Book of the Year) and who coined the term "net neutrality"--a revelatory, ambitious and urgent account of how the capture and re-sale of human attention became the defining industry of our time.
Ours is often called an information economy, but at a moment when access to information is virtually unlimited, our attention has become the ultimate commodity. In nearly every moment of our waking lives, we face a barrage of efforts to harvest our attention.
This condition is not simply the byproduct of recent technological innovations but the result of more than a century's growth and expansion in the industries that feed on human attention. Wu's narrative begins in the nineteenth century, when Benjamin Day discovered he could get rich selling newspapers for a penny. Since then, every new medium--from radio to television to Internet companies such as Google and Facebook--has attained commercial viability and immense riches by turning itself into an advertising platform. Since the early days, the basic business model of "attention merchants" has never changed: free diversion in exchange for a moment of your time, sold in turn to the highest-bidding advertiser. Full of lively, unexpected storytelling and piercing insight, The Attention Merchants lays bare the true nature of a ubiquitous reality we can no longer afford to accept at face value.

True-to-photos color, solid build, and great for organizing
Color: 2Pcs Green
Durability: This tray feels well-made and sturdy. I replaced a fragile tray that shattered when it fell, and this one feels like it would hold up far better to normal day-to-day handling. I am not going to stress-test it, but it feels substantial and nicely finished.
Use and ease of use: It does exactly what a tray should do. It is easy to carry, stable when set down, and the woven leather surface feels secure and helps keep items from sliding around.
Color: The green woven leather matches the website photos. No surprises, no weird undertones. It looks clean and high quality in person.
Organization: This is where it really shines for me. It is a great fit for corralling items on a table, counter, or dresser and instantly makes things look more intentional. It is not stackable, but it is not advertised as stackable either, so that is fine.
Size and accuracy: The dimensions match the schematics online, which I appreciated. It fits the space I bought it for exactly as expected.
Overall, it looks high-end, feels durable, and is a simple upgrade if you want a tray that helps keep a space organized without feeling flimsy.

Nice tray!
Color: Black
This tray has helped me organize my desk better. I use it for my phone stand and charger, as well as a place to hold and charge my vapors. It has a nice rubber mat inside so nothing gets scratched on the wood. It is well put together and seems very sturdy. I think it will last a long time! It works for anywhere in the house.

Classic gents’ tray
Color: Black
This tray is large enough to hold the items a guy normally carries around in his pockets (e.g., wallet, eyeglasses, cellphone, money, keys, lip balm). The tray is lowkey attractive and keeps a dresser from looking cluttered. The tray bottom is thin yet sturdy. Good price and worth the buy.

Pretty functional
Color: Llight Gray
Looks good and very surprising. But need to check for QA. Mine came cracked on one of the corners and I didnt noticed it. Other than that, I recommend these. Pretty roomy for all your things.
