Living in a city apartment, I don't have a ton of space in my kitchen, and this was a great add-on. I can fit my microwave and Keurig on top, and I actually took out the second shelf on the right so that there is enough space to store my Kitchen Aid mixer. And who doesn't love a built-in wine rack?? It's sturdy, and the color is a dark brown that meshes well with the rest of the kitchen.
