This cabinet far exceeds my expectations! I needed a place to store my Kitchen Aid mixer and all the accessories I am accumulating but wanted it close to the counter so I can just side it over when needed. The surface is large enough to use as another work surface and I can store my large dough board flat on the top. There is plenty of storage space inside the cabinet. The instructions were very easy to follow and it took my husband and I about an hour and a half to put it together.
