This piece is very nice and pretty sturdy!  Our daughter put it together in about 2 hours and it now looks very nice in the kitchen.  It will hold a 13-gallon trash can nicely, so I plan on getting a larger trash can than what I have now.  The counter top is a nice feature and not cheap looking, with a bonus cutting bamboo cutting board (sits on drawer on the inside).  Storage area for trash bags, freezer storage bags and other miscellaneous items is very roomy too.  Like it a lot !!
