I purchased this for a unique way to display some heirloom Fiesta Ware I recently aquired.  I didn't want the old fashioned china hutch thing.  This is just perfect for that use.
It was a little difficult to put together, especially after our new puppy took off with the instructions and shredded them!  Fortunately I was able to get a new copy of them emailed to me by Wayfair.   It's surprisingly sturdy and I don't have any qualms at all about storing my dishes inside.
