I use this in an alcove in my dining room, and it holds my wine stuff, and some of my pottery for pops of bright color.  I wish it was a little longer, as I was hoping to fill this alcove completely, but it's close.  I like the funky style of it, and the shelves are placed nicely.  I can also easily change it up and serve appetizers on the top.  It's not large enough to serve a buffet style meal, unless it's a small one.
