The bakers rack is exactly what I needed for our new apartment. We got a very small kitchen, and needed more storage and counter space. It lives adjacent to the kitchen, in the dining room, and holds our microwave, toaster, coffee pot, mugs,  coffeeteasnacks, and has enough storage space for us to keep our surplus groceries tucked underneath. I gave this a 3-star review, because the kit came with 2 duplicate parts, a bent lower shelf, and some unsightly black paint marks. Contacted Wayfair support, and they sent me the missing post I needed to build it and have me a partial refund for the defects.
