I was looking for a rack to place a new toaster oven and to have space to keep my cookbooks within easy reach in my kitchen.  This unit is sturdy enough to hold all of this.  I wanted simple lines rather than design embellishments.  I will need to put some bookends on the 2 lower shelves to contain the books, since the sides are open.  The dimensions fit my space quite well. 

Pros: I often cringe when I look at assembly directions, but this went together easily.  Sturdy.
