I bought this to use as storage for dishes since our kitchen doesn't have any built-in cabinets and had an open space under the counter. Well, this fit perfectly under that counter space and has served its purpose very well! Sometimes I worry that the dishes are too heavy for the shelves, but it's still holding strong. The only thing I didn't like were the two knobs/handles - just didn't like the look. But you could probably purchase some at a hardware store to replace them - haven't done that yet but that is the plan.
