I love this addition to the kitchen. The top is heavy and very sturdy. If you treat it with oil and don't let nasty stuff soak into it, it's very easy to maintain. It's beautiful and functional, and the metal shelves below are adjustable to whatever you want! I moved the top metal bracket down a few slots to create another third shelf up top, since the sturdy/huge wood piece with four holes can easily keep the structure of the top in tact. It's just a very useful and pretty piece. Pros: Easy assembly, can change shelf heights, easy to maintain, sturdy wood Cons: none
