I’m using this piece in my kitchen for extra storage and counter space. I’m delighted with it, but plan to put appliances on it rather than using it for meal prep. The top is tromp l’oil synthetic wood. 

I will say that while I am delighted with it, be prepared for the assembly. The instructions were excellent and easy to follow. Everything was well labeled. That said…. It literally took 4 hours to assemble it— and that was without any mistakes along the way. It’s worth it, but make sure to set aside a chunk of time to give it your full attention and get it right!! 

Otherwise, I’m thrilled with how it looks and fits and I’m excited to use it!
