This cart lines up with my kitchen counters, and I use it as an extension to free up counter space. You can adjust the lower shelves to suit your needs and I like the option of having it on wheels or feet. I placed my toaster oven on top. The basket is ideal for fruits and vegetables, and the lower shelf is used for baking pans and my mixer. I wish the basket pulled out from the short end because that is how I use it, but I can totally reach into the basket to get what I need. Very easy to assemble and looks great in my kitchen.
