I am not a smart man and hadn't read the directions so this did not work for what it was originally intended for. BUT it was still a good find as the construction is sturdy, setup didn't take too long considering the amount of shelves, and it looks good for the price point. The shelves up top are on the smaller side so it works great for a crafting chest (needles, glitter, etc. at the top and larger paints, etc. in the bottom). Would recommend though!
