I love these wooden items with the hint of age and use already on them. My imagination is also kind of wild too: from holding mail in the entryway, to fresh cut flowers wrapped in moist paper towels in the guest room, to cranberry orange muffins wrapped in a towel for breakfast, to keeping "my set" of tools handy & close for use in the kitchen closet (not down cellar). That is just a few uses off hand.

Pros: Great value, durable finish, easy to paint to change the exterior color, and already asembled.
Cons: Non that I was aware of.
