I bought this so I could put my microwave on it. It's cute but the shelves are just bars, and I ended up having to buy additional baskets to actually keep things in because otherwise they won't sit level or will outright fall through the cracks. The piece is actually quite attractive and it was easy to put together, baskets hold quite a bit, but they are a bit flimsy when you actually move them in and out. Overall I am pretty happy with this purchase.
