I really love this. I use it in my entry to sort mail (my chalk portions say "bills," "magazines" and "other"). It's nice and shallow while still providing a lot of storage space. My only complaint is that it's a pain to build, though we knew that going in. My husband and I planned on it taking some time so we did it over two nights (without a fight! Huzzah!). It also could feel a tad sturdier, but that's kind of asking a lot for this price. I'd definitely buy again.
