I bought this so I could get the clutter of all my baking and cooking utensils off the counter. I had them in different crocks and I hate having too much on the counters. This was my brainstorm idea to buy as it was much more affordable than having actual utensil pullout made. It fit perfectly inthe cabinet next to my stove. It is very sturdy. Just a little tough at first to pull out but it is terrific overall.
