I love this! I wanted something to put my microwave on in order to free up counter space. The two wood shelves are very very sturdy. Plus the bottom shelf, a wire one, is also sturdy. There is a narrow flat ledge above the hooks so you could always use for spices, or cute decor. I put it together myself, I’m a 60 year old female, and the initial few pieces were a challenge since there wasn’t an easy way to stabilize and hold it while you screwed them together. But once you got started it became easier. And each and every hole matched up perfectly, to me a sign of good quality. The veneer on the wood is very pretty and modern. I definitely recommend this!
