This shelving unit is extremely useful. We purchased two for a large closet to serve as a pantry for a small kitchen. We were dealing with unusual dimensions so the relatively short height and foot-deep shelves provide a nice, compact footprint. The flexible height of the shelves is handy. The shelves are sturdy. While it's not an extraordinarily attractive or chic piece, it's highly practical. Easy enough for one person to build (though the instructions could have been a little clearer). We are not using the caster wheels or the handle.
