Very solid and attractive. I put baskets on the shelves on one end to store more items and decorative items on the other end. As stated in other reviews, the color is creamyyellowish, not white and the counter is slightly reddish, if this matters to your decor. The pullout drawer is loose and slips off the track if you are not careful -- I have not been able to fix it yet. All in all though its quite nice -- its an improvement in my kitchen. I was delighted when I got it on sale.
