We bought this to use as a prep station alongside our grill. It has surpassed expectation, sturdy with lovely clean lines. The bottom shelf has been raised to hold another level of food, plates and the bonus of the locking castors is great, making it even more versatile. I'd recommend the table as a solid alternative to create an industrial look for a kitchen, for use outdoors as we are or for any multitude of work station uses. Note: the top is pretty high with the castors on so check the dimensions.
