Keeps small pieces in one place, easily accessible to my 1 year old, and more importantly out from underfoot when he's done playing! Pros: bright colors, plenty of containers, assembles easily, keeps toys organized. Cons: cheap quality, smelled horribly of chemicals when first opened (slowly dissipating), can be tipped over easily. Overall, I'm happy with it, mostly because I only paid $30 for it...I think that's about all it's worth. If I had to pay more, would be dissapointed. If I was more ambitious, I could probably have made the same thing with an old shoe rack and some canvas, and some nicer quality containers.
