VERY FUNCTIONAL! Comes with 8 hooks for the top bar (I'm only using 5 atm). There are also 4 side hooks ( 2 on each side ) where you can hang pans. Your coffee mugs can also be hung on the hooks located inside the shelves. There is an electrical outlet installed on the side for electric appliances. This piece also comes with wheels on the bottom (I opted for without). Lots of space for such a small piece - it's super adorable. Love the laminate grain & the industrial rustic feel; his item will be perfect for our cabin!
