I was looking to get more space back in my apartment and this is exactly what I needed! I was able to put my microwave on top of the cart and having the trash underneath is very convenient. I really like the extra storage space on the sides with the racks. I didn't attach the towel rod as I have it turned so it is not accessible. Only thing is I wish the trash can area would be able to accommodate a more common size. Overall very pleased with this purchase. It's nice to get some space back!
