This is great in concept, and the engineering is tidy and works well, but the aesthetic is, meh. My real score is somewhere closer to 3.5 stars. The functionality is great and it works how it is supposed to, but the particle board that is covered in this white plastic film just doesn't look that good. Luckily it is only in the laundry room! My other complaint was that the board itself is not that padded, so you'll need to buy an additional board cover. Overall though, it is a great space saver.
