It was exactly what I was looking for for my small apartment with very little counter space. I am planning to use it as extra prep space when cooking and as added storage. I think it adds a cute unfinished, yet clean, look to a kitchen. I also love how easy it is to wheel around to where I need it. My only complaint is that it can be frustrating to put together because I had a hard time getting my shelves positioned just right and leveled. Overall, I would recommend this and you cannot beat the price! I know this is something that will hold up for a long time as well.
