We needed a stand/table for our new rice cooker and prefer to have additional storage too. The two extended leaf and open shelf were a plus for more counter space when needed and newspaper or cookbooks. With all purposes serve this unit does the job. But assembling was a bit harder than we expected, the pre-drill holes were tight to put screws through and it really do need two people to put it together. The plastic piece with the magnet for the doors came broken and front top edge drawer is rough with splinters, also drawer does not slide in and out smoothly had to make adjustment on the track. We didn't expect too much but too much work for us. If you are handy and have the time go for it.
