Using as a craft pantry/space instead of a kitchen pantry. It is a very multifunctional piece. Fairly easy to assemble, directions were clear. Love the ambient lighting. The only thing I don't like is when you have the table portion open, you cannot access the drawer underneath, so while I am working on my projects, it's a bit inconvenient. Also the dry erase / magnetic board is a great idea, but again once the table is in use, it's pointless. Otherwise, It is a nice size and sturdy. The table part is easy to open/close. I did paint the handles and table legs/frame black, I did not care for the brassy/gold color. You will. need a counter height stool/chair, as a regular chair is too low to comfortably work/sit at the table portion.
