Bought this for my daughter's small eat-in kitchen that is lacking in counter space...So far she is loving it! What I know she is enjoying about it so far is the surface top that can be lifted up when prepping meals/baking, but put back down easily when she is not using it so as to save on space. She also likes the drawers for storing extra baking and cooking utensils and the side towel bar. The cart seams very sturdy and the warm wood tone warms up her white kitchen.
