Using this in my foyer because it is quite long and hides the heating unit which I hate seeing.... The unit is very pretty french country looking. The distressing is a bit much but if you like that, you will be happy... Overall, storage capacity is pretty good... I keep extra table cloths, bowls, etc.... Also the drawers keep a lot as well. I had used it before in my dining room as a server and it worked out well for that purpose too even though it's very narrow...
